mission 752 spk( sold )
Lets feel free to know the histories:
One of the nicest and most interesting affordable floorstanding loudspeakers of the nineteen nineties, the Mission 752 had a wonderfully smooth, open and easy sound in a world of hard, harsh and spitty budget boxes. One of the reasons for this was its (then) very advanced HDA (High Definition Aerogel) mid/bass driver, which delivered much of the speed and sensitivity of expensive paper cones without their expense. It was partnered with a unusually well behaved metal dome tweeter, which integrated seamlessly.
Designed by the talented Henry Azima – the man behind the original Cyrus amplifiers, 770 loudspeakers and a host of other classic transducers – it sported a gently sloping upper front baffle with conventional driver geometry, instead of Mission’s generally preferred inverted driver layout. Three small front-firing reflex ports let the 880x200x250mm cabinet breathe without inducing too much boom in less spacious listening rooms. The 150mm mid/bass driver allowed a relatively small footprint and more importantly a narrow front baffle. At the time it was claimed that this gave better stereo imaging, but this is refuted by many respected speaker designers today. A 25mm metal dome tweeter completed the package, and integrated well with the mid/bass driver.Costing around £500 when new some twenty years ago, a good pair of 752s now go for RM1200 or less. 2 years later the 752 was replaced by the 752 Freedom, which offered a few tweaks including a better silk dome tweeter.
Good pair,looking for RM1199
Also worth bearing in mind that because they're front ported they work well close to the wall.
