Mission 700
Pair - Boxed
An original factory matched pair, boxed and in nice physical condition, although one cabinet is a little sun-bleached - and has a dark stain on one side (see picture 6).
Please note: you will never see an original pair of Mission 700 without foam-rot around the bass drivers. These were no exception. So….. we have just had these professionally re-foamed and they’ll be good for another 20 or 25 years. Also…. however good they sound now, after a few hours of use, the foams will have softened-up and they’ll sound even better.
The following information and specifications are from the excellent hifiengine.com website:
“Acknowledged as the world's finest compact speaker system by technical press throughout Europe, Britain, Canada and the USA, the Mission 700 remains our most sought after product.
And no, it's not upside down! There are many complex reasons for the reversed positions of Missions new 8" driver and the dome tweeter.
There are also many other less visible technical innovations incorporated in this design, most of which are beyond the scope of discussion here. Suffice to say that never before did a speaker system of this size and price offer the qualities and capabilities of our baby 700.”
