FOR Controlled, articulate sound; nice build and finish
AGAINST Sound lacks a little enthusiasm and excitement

The Mission LX-3s’ recipe for success looks like a sure-fire winner. Take the Award-winning LX-2 standmounters, add another mid/bass driver and make the cabinet bigger to bypass the need for a stand. The extra drive unit and bigger box will pretty much guarantee more bass and higher volume levels, so just keep the price sensible, as Mission has done here, and what could go wrong?
But things aren’t quite as straightforward as they appear. These speakers do indeed deliver on both low-frequency quantity and loudness levels, but they lose out to their standmounter relative in other areas.
Cosmetic details
Take the LX-3s out of their packaging and there’s plenty to admire. They feel solid, thanks to careful bracing of the 92cm tall cabinet, and there’s enough in the way of neat cosmetic detailing to make them look smart and relatively elegant. There are three finish options – the black of our review sample as well as white and walnut alternatives. Weight-wise the LX-3s are typical for floor standers of this size, coming in at just less than 15kg.
