This is one of the best value-for-money speaker designs around, but there's just a little bit more care needed when matching your system to these dynamic, musical Mordaunt-Shorts than is the case with their obvious rivals.To my ears, these speakers offer a full sound. There is fantastic detail, yet lots of warmth. I position them 8cm from a rear wall. Solid constructionLike the M10, the M20 has a cabinet constructed of heavy duty MDF. This rigidity helps the sound quality as it ensures the cabinet doesn’t distort and bring unnatural colouration to the sound. A neat touch with both drive units is the absence of visible fixings. This not only provides clean, good looks but also enhances the sound imaging as smooth surfaces enhance staging precision. Compact dimensions and a neutral finish help the M20 blend in to its surroundings. I know this because my brother still uses 30(ish) year-old MS20s and I have a pair of MS20i Pearl Editions in a box under our stairs* - having used them successfully with a Naim system for six months until very recently.

Looking at the numbers it seems that the MS going lower frequencies but otherwise I can’t find any direct comparison between the two. I’m clearing up my audio collection. These MS 902 signatures are collectibles and step above the easily found variants 902i. An alternative to new is to go for a different second hand speaker and that way you will be spending less and won't lose any money if you wish to re-sell. You can then compare/contrast easily in your own home environment and also with your MS 20's. Excellent items are almost entirely free from blemishes and other visual defects and have been played or used with the utmost care. learn more Sony SRS-XB13 - Compact & Portable Waterproof Wireless Bluetooth? speaker with EXTRA BASS? - Powder Blue Popular

The MS310 was a well respected, if budget, speaker of the '90s. The Signifer was reputedly really rather good and even today I quite hanker after a pair to try. It also shares something with Naim - the “acoustic environment balance” control which is located on the lower front crossover panel uses a little plastic knob that’s shared with the Naim NAC12, NAC22 and NAC32.

If pushed, they could be criticised for their slightly enthusiastic treble, but this wouldn't be a problem unless you matched them with electronics in a similar vein. I've just bought a Denon DM 39 and am looking to upgrade my Gale 3010s bookshelf speakers.

However, the good news for the OP is that MS20i Pearl Editions would be an excellent and very cost effective upgrade and well worth waiting for a really good pair to come along.

A front-mounted bass port further enhances bass response, compared to the smaller M10. The bass port also raises the sensitivity, placing less of a demand on the amplifier. Deep notes, especially at lower volumes, are noticeably improved.
