Item: Mission 750 Limited Edition, 20 Anniversary bookshelf speakers Location: Perth Price: 299 neg. Shipping over to the Eastern States would probably be around $30. Item Condition: very good but some marks are present Reason for selling: were bought for my test setup but with them having tweeters on the bottom of the cabinet, I could not get enough highs with all the junk on my bench obstructing the line of sight Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, direct transfer Extra Info: I bought them to have a decent sound on my test setup when doing final listening tests. I did not anticipate such tiny thing to be in any way spectacular. But when testing Electrocompaniet EC-3 / AW-100DMB combo - particularly when driven hard(ish) - they began to sing. Hardish, meaning about 30-40% of AW-100DBM's 100W/ch. The blurb: To celebrate their 25th anniversary Mission launched the 750 Limited Edition bookshelf speakers. Only 7000 pairs of this little gorgeous sculpture are being made, and then it's over. The 750 is an entirely new speaker, based on no older Missions. It comes as a tiny but weighty 2-way model, clad in lush real rosewood or black ash veneer, and looking not unlike a Sonus Faber Extrema (after all this is an Italian magazine, so I have to honour my host, comprende?). The driver compliment is made up of a 13cm Aerogel woofer, and a silk dome tweeter (as in the other Mission 75-series speakers). The bi-wiring binding posts are heavily gold-plated, and there is a reflex port at the back, which precludes use close to a wall. Sensitivity is 86dB/W@1m, and the nominal impedance is 6 Ohms, not hard to drive. Pictures:
