Aviano s are awesome... very good bass response and sound clarity..
and BTW Your Norge amp can drive the Missions and avianos easily.. Wats d quote u r getting for MA M2s and Avaiano 2..
I beg to differ only in that with the norge-mission combo, the amp tends to run out of breath at less than 1 o'clock, though I must, in all fairness, add that it sounds very nice till it begins to clip. IMHO, a more powerful amp is what the missions need. I sold the amp as I want to retain the spkrs, although they have a small -ve due to being rear ported, whereby they need 15'' space behind to avoid boomy resonant & residual bass. So, if the MSs are front ported(cant recall) and have lesser power handling capacity and you intend to hang onto the norge, go for MS. However, if the ans to any of the three is No, then the missions offer better value.
I was skeptical about the MA M2 because they are rated at 100W@6ohm
and if someone keeps the knob in right position the speakers might blow because i think the Norge 1000 is 125W@4ohm per channel.
I was considering MA M2 because of less budget , 6 1/2 " mid bass driver, it's front ported and would be less finicky for placement. I would not be buying speaker stands so keeping a bookshelf away from wall would be a problem.
I intend to keep the Norge 1000 Amp and wont be upgrading speakers after I buy them for atleast another 5 years and i am not buying a sub for these.
I ll be going by your word since there is no much auditioning possible here.
Combination sounding slightly bright is ok but mellow is strict no-no .
