Older hifi-speakers (Mission 753) vs. newer generations (polk r700)

[Slyman]

Dear audioscientists

I write cause i've considered upgrading my living room floorstanders for quite a while to another pair of passive floorstanders.

Fact is that i've bought the Mission 753 + a subwoofer 5 years ago very cheap (maybe 200-300 bucks) and i've enjoyed them ever since although i turn the treble down on them.

Recently i think the Polk RXX line seems very appealing, actually also the R200, in price/performance comparison. I just wonder...

Is it really an upgrade? I mean how good can older speakers be compared to new stuff?

Best regards!

Were you planning/hoping to auditiion the Polk product locally? If so, why not ask them to allow you to bring along you 753's so you could A-B them.

There's no substitute for listening in an A-B manner.
