Mission 700 Loudspeakers

Mission 700

Hear classic British design meet modern acoustic engineering for rich, full-bodied music playback.

The Mission 700 is a two-way stand-mount loudspeaker that brings updated driver and cabinet technologies while retaining the heritage sound of the original Mission 700. With its 6.5″ mineral-loaded polypropylene woofer and 1.25″ soft dome tweeter in a bass-reflex cabinet, the Mission 700 delivers detailed highs, articulate mids and surprising bass for its size. 

The Mission 700 is designed for music lovers who want serious performance in a moderately sized footprint. It leverages features like “Inverted Driver Geometry” (placing tweeter below woofer to align acoustic path) and a carefully profiled reflex port for low distortion and bass extension into the high-30 Hz region. 

Its cabinet construction combines real-wood veneer finishes (Walnut Pearl or Black Oak) with a laminated white front baffle for a premium aesthetic. Internally the Mission 700 incorporates bracing, damping adhesive sandwich construction and fibre/foam lining to minimize internal resonance and preserve clarity.

Top 20 Questions About Mission 700

What kind of sound character does the Mission 700 deliver?
The Mission 700 produces a warm yet detailed tonal balance, with smooth high frequencies, clear midrange presence and deeper-than-expected bass for a stand-mount design.

Is the Mission 700 suitable for medium or large rooms?
Yes — thanks to its bass extension to around 38 Hz and dynamic capability, the Mission 700 can perform well in a medium-sized room when placed properly and partnered with a capable amplifier.

What amplifier power is recommended for the Mission 700?
The Mission 700 is optimized for amplifiers rated at approximately 25–150 W per channel, which allows room for dynamic peaks and full performance.

What finishes are available for the Mission 700?
The Mission 700 is offered in real-wood veneers such as Walnut Pearl or Black Oak with a laminated white front baffle for a premium aesthetic.

How important is speaker placement for the Mission 700?
Placement matters: allowing some space behind the cabinet, proper stands at listening height, and gentle toe-in will help the Mission 700 reach its full imaging and bass potential.

Does the Mission 700 include stands?
The Mission 700 pairs with dedicated stands designed for its size and acoustic needs, ensuring optimal listening height and isolation.

How does the bass performance of the Mission 700 compare with similar sized speakers?
The Mission 700’s bass extension to ~38 Hz is impressively deep for a stand-mount and compares favorably with many larger cabinets, thanks to its well-tuned reflex port and quality driver design.

What type of music is the Mission 700 best suited for?
The Mission 700 handles a broad range — acoustic, jazz, rock, and orchestral recordings all benefit from its clarity, dynamic punch and controlled bass—even with demanding passages.

Is the Mission 700 compatible with modern streaming or high-res sources?
Absolutely. While the Mission 700 is a passive loudspeaker (you supply the amplifier and source), its design fully supports high-resolution playback, vinyl, digital streaming, or any quality audio source.

How does the cabinet construction of the Mission 700 affect sound quality?
The cabinet uses sandwich construction with internal damping, bracing and materials chosen to reduce resonances and colouration, so the Mission 700 delivers clean, transparent sound rather than artificial “boom”.

Can the Mission 700 be used for home theatre or only stereo music?
Yes—while primarily designed for high-fidelity stereo music use, the Mission 700 can also integrate into a home-theatre setup as front speakers, provided tonal matching with other speakers is considered.

What are the main differences between the Mission 700 and the higher Mission 770 model?
The Mission 700 shares many design philosophies of the Mission 770 but in a more compact form and price point—expect slightly smaller drivers and slightly less extension, but still class-leading performance in its category.

What kind of amplifier do I need to avoid damage to the Mission 700?
Use an amplifier that can deliver clean power within the 25–150 W range and avoid driving the Mission 700 into clipping—distortion rather than power is more likely to risk driver damage.

How should I position the Mission 700 for best imaging?
Set the Mission 700 speakers on matched stands at ear height, form an equilateral triangle with your listening position, slightly toe-in toward you and at least a foot or more from the rear wall to allow the rear-ported design to breathe.

How does room size and acoustics affect the Mission 700?
Because the Mission 700 has low distortion and extended bass, room acoustics matter: some reflection control and proper placement will yield the best results rather than relying on the speaker to correct poor room acoustics.

What is the build and finish quality of the Mission 700 like?
The Mission 700 features hand-applied real wood veneers and a laminated baffle for premium appearance, and its internal construction is engineered for durability and high-performance.
