Mission 750

Overview

The Mission 750 is a compact two way, vented box stand mount loudspeaker from Mission, the British loudspeaker maker founded in 1977 and now part of IAG, the International Audio Group that also brings us Wharfedale, Quad, Leak and Audiolab. As the newest and most compact member of the 700 series, the 750 distills decades of Mission voicing into a cabinet built for real rooms, desktops and dedicated stands alike.

At its heart is Mission's signature Inverted Driver Geometry, the trademark arrangement in which the 1.25 inch soft dome tweeter is mounted below the 5.25 inch mineral loaded polypropylene mid bass driver. This positioning aligns the acoustic output of both drivers so that their sound reaches the listener in correct time alignment, a design goal Mission has pursued since its earliest days. Crossed over at 2.4kHz, the two drivers work as a coherent whole, delivering frequency response from 48Hz to 20kHz with bass extension down to 42Hz.

With a sensitivity of 86dB, a 6 ohm nominal impedance and a recommended amplifier power of 25 to 100 watts, the 750 is easy to place and easy to drive with quality integrated amplifiers. It suits listeners who want the classic Mission character of natural tonality, focused imaging and musical coherence in a smaller footprint, whether for a compact main system, a second room or a near field setup.

How the 750 Compares

Mission 750 vs Mission 700

The 700 sits a step up in Mission's classic range and shares the same inverted driver philosophy for time aligned sound. As the higher model it offers greater scale and low end authority, making it a natural choice for larger rooms. The more compact 750 keeps that same Mission character in a smaller cabinet that is easier to place in tighter spaces. See the Mission 700.

Mission 750 vs LEAK Sandwich 150

The LEAK Sandwich 150, also from within the IAG family, leans on the historic LEAK sandwich cone construction for a warm, vintage voiced presentation. The Mission 750 instead pursues time aligned coherence and pinpoint imaging through its inverted driver array. Choose the LEAK for a classically warm tone or the 750 for focused, precise staging. See the LEAK Sandwich 150.

Mission 750 vs Spendor Classic 4/5

The Spendor Classic 4/5 is a traditionally voiced British stand mount aimed at long, relaxed listening with a gentle, forgiving balance. The Mission 750 is more compact and emphasizes time alignment and imaging precision. Pick the Spendor for a laid back classic character or the 750 for a coherent, tightly focused soundstage in a smaller cabinet. See the Spendor Classic 4/5.

Recommended Amplification and Source

A loudspeaker needs amplification and a source to make music. These catalog pairings suit the 750's easy load and its need for a clean, musical partner.

• Mission 778X Integrated Amplifier The natural same brand partner, built with Audiolab engineering under the same IAG group and featuring a built in DAC. Its power sits comfortably within the 750's 25 to 100W recommendation for an easy, coherent match.
• Audiolab 6000A MKII A clean, versatile integrated with its own DAC that drives the 6 ohm 750 with ease. It offers a neutral, refined presentation that lets the speaker's imaging shine.
• LEAK Stereo 130 Another IAG family integrated with a built in DAC and a warm, engaging character. It pairs well with the 750 for listeners who want a touch of richness.
• EverSolo DMP-A6 Gen 2 A capable network streamer, DAC and preamplifier to feed a paired amplifier with high resolution streaming and local files. A modern digital front end for the 750 system.
• Dual CS 429 Turntable A fully automatic turntable for those who want vinyl in their 750 system. It provides an easy, enjoyable analog source to complement the speaker's natural voicing.
