Hey All. I have been a fan of Mission speakers since I stumbled accross a pair of Mission 761s a few years back. I didn’t see a thread on Mission so thought I would start one and see what other’s experiences with Mission equipment has been. I recently picked up my 4th pair of their speakers, a set of 763s with the rosewood wraps and have been happily dialing them in since. I also have the 761s as mentioned, a pair of 780s that need some work and owned the Model 70s in the past.
I understand that Mission made amps and turntables as well so as far as I am concerned it’s all fair game. I was wondering what observations, tweaks and thoughts the AK brain trust has on products from this manufacturer.
I know the 763s are not considered the flagship model by Mission, but I am still in the honeymoon period with them and geeking out at their qualities, and looking forward to hearing what biamping may do to improve these qualities once circumstances permit.
Here are my new additions to get the ball rolling:
I have them on stands about 12” high as my previous experience with the 761s seemed to indicate they really benefited by getting the drivers at more of a listening height.
I was immediately struck by the soundstage and detail from these 763s. My initial impression is a very accurate and uncolered sound with a great balance and nuance. I listen to variety of music but have really been digging the way they reproduce the sound of some of my favorite old jazz LPs. Drums sound like drums with nice attack and decay, the subtleties in piano shines through, vocals are rich and detailed.
What are your thoughts and experiences with Mission? Are any of their other products besides speakers worth checking out? Any favorites out there?
Cheers,
Fuzz
