MORDAUNT-SHORT M20, Compact Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) - Black

Product Information

They respond VERY well to thoughtful upgrades in electronics and ancillaries and if you can find them in light wood veneer their looks still draw appreciative comments that belie their age. Consumer Electronics:TV, Video and Home Audio:Home Audio:Receivers and Amplifiers:Amplifiers and Preamps I've owned the speakers for 30 years because I've loved the sound. Sometimes when I turn up the volume I think there is a bit of high frequency distortion, otherwise I think they are as good as new. We focus on education, discussion, and sharing of entry and mid level separate & multi component audio systems. Unfortunately this happened for a lot of well respected British brands, such as Wharfedale and Quad, just to mention a few which have their current range mass-produced Far East.

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. 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.

The MS310 was a well respected, if budget, speaker of the '90s.Mounted as described, the Mordaunt-Short MS20s gave a sharply-defined stereo spread and pleasing tonal quality. Of course the extreme bass slopes off rather steeply from systems of this size but the designers have resisted the temptation to introduce a false upper-bass hump—so characteristic of inferior loudspeakers—therefore mounting against a wall or in a corner could be tried jud ciously as a means of bass enhancement. The extreme treble does rise ever so slightly, which may be no bad thing on some audio-systems but produced a slight over-brightness and sibilance on my top-grade hi-fi set-up.
