Mission LX-5 MKII Floorstanding Speaker – Black

Mission LX-5 MKII Black

The Mission LX-5 MKII Black is a mid-level floorstanding speaker in the LX MKII range, sitting above the LX-4 MKII and below the three-way LX-6 MKII. It pairs a lightweight 25 mm microfibre dome tweeter with two 165 mm composite-fibre DiaDrive bass drivers in a bass-reflex cabinet, delivering a frequency response of 42Hz to 20kHz with 90 dB sensitivity and a peak output of 106 dB. Recommended amplifier power is 30 to 150 watts, nominal impedance is 8 ohms, and the cabinet stands 995 mm tall on its plinth, giving the Mission LX-5 MKII Black the scale and authority for serious stereo listening and home-cinema front channels. Mission’s Inverted Driver Geometry and fourth-order Linkwitz-Riley crossover keep the sound coherent and time-aligned, with trickle-down engineering from the premium ZX and QX ranges.

Why Choose Mission LX-5 MKII Black?

Floorstanding speakers earn their footprint when they deliver full-range sound without a subwoofer, and the Mission LX-5 MKII Black does exactly that: twin 165 mm DiaDrive drivers move enough air for convincing bass down to 42Hz, while the microfibre dome tweeter keeps highs detailed and smooth. High 90 dB sensitivity means even a modest 30-watt amplifier drives it to satisfying levels, while its 150-watt ceiling leaves headroom for larger amplifiers and dynamic recordings. The DiaDrive diaphragm’s seamless design and rigid dual-layer fibre construction control bass precisely rather than merely loudly, so music stays articulate and film sound stays intelligible. In Lux Black, the Mission LX-5 MKII Black also looks the part in a modern living room, with a slim, well-braced cabinet that disappears into the room until the music starts.

Key Features of Mission LX-5 MKII Black

• Twin 165 mm DiaDrive drivers: Two 6.5-inch composite-fibre DiaDrive bass drivers deliver deep, controlled bass to 42Hz.

• 90 dB sensitivity: 90 dB sensitivity makes the speaker easy to drive, with 30 to 150 watts recommended.

• Inverted Driver Geometry: Mission’s driver layout aligns sound arrival at the listener for a coherent stereo image.

Best Suited For

The Mission LX-5 MKII Black suits medium and large living rooms, dedicated listening rooms and home cinemas where a full-range floorstander is wanted without a subwoofer. It fits stereo music systems and AV front channels, pairing with integrated amplifiers and AV receivers from 30 watts upward. It is a 995 mm tall floorstander, so it needs floor space and a room that can accommodate its scale; small bedrooms are better served by the LX-1 or LX-2 MKII standmounts.

Setup and Connection Guide

Place the Mission LX-5 MKII Black pair symmetrically, tweeters at seated ear height, toed slightly toward the listening position and clear of side and rear walls so the rear bass-reflex port can breathe. Fit the plinth and feet, level the cabinet, and connect to your amplifier with quality cable, observing polarity. Set your amplifier or receiver’s speaker size to Large for stereo use, or Small with an 80Hz crossover if a subwoofer is also in use. Listen from the main seat and adjust toe-in and wall distance until bass is tight and the stereo image is stable and centred.
