Top 20 Questions About Mission 770
What kind of sound character does the Mission 770 deliver?
The Mission 770 offers a warm, natural midrange with open detail, tight controlled bass down to ~30 Hz in suitable rooms, and smooth highs from its microfiber dome tweeter—ideal for listeners who value musical engagement and fidelity.
Is the Mission 770 suitable for large rooms?
Yes. With bass extension near 30 Hz and strong dynamic capability, the Mission 770 can fill a large room with impact, especially when partnered with a capable amplifier and proper placement.
What power amplifier is recommended for the Mission 770?
The Mission 770 is rated for approximately 25–200 W of amplifier power (depending on room and listening level). As an 88 dB sensitive, 8 Ω speaker, it thrives with quality mid/high-power amps and will benefit from strong current drive.
What finishes are available for the Mission 770?
The Mission 770 is offered in real-wood veneers such as walnut and black finishes, with a white-laminated front baffle for classic styling that fits both modern and vintage décor.
How important is speaker placement for the Mission 770?
Placement is quite important. To let the Mission 770 perform at its best, allow clearance behind the port, pay attention to toe-in toward the listening position, and ensure proper stand height and room acoustics for optimal imaging and bass impact.
Does the Mission 770 come with stands?
Yes, matching stands are included (or part of the package), designed specifically for the Mission 770 to optimize positioning and performance.
How does the bass performance of the Mission 770 compare to typical stand-mount speakers?
The Mission 770 features a large 8″ woofer and a well-tuned cabinet that enables bass extension to around 30 Hz (–6 dB), which is deeper than many typical stand-mount loudspeakers. This offers greater low-end presence and room-filling capability.
What kind of music is the Mission 770 best for?
The Mission 770 handles a wide variety of music—from delicate acoustic ballads to dynamic rock and orchestral pieces. If you enjoy musical detail, rhythm, and full-bodied sound, the Mission 770 will serve you well.
Is the Mission 770 compatible with modern streaming or high-res sources?
Absolutely. While the Mission 770 is a passive loudspeaker (requiring an amplifier), its design is compatible with modern components—including high-resolution digital sources, streaming players, and vinyl playback systems—delivering the full fidelity your system can provide.
How does the cabinet construction in the Mission 770 affect performance?
The Mission 770 uses twin-wall construction with MDF and particle board bonded by a high-damping adhesive, internal bracing and foam/fiber damping. This reduces cabinet resonance significantly below audible frequencies, allowing the drivers to perform uncolored and natural.
What is the minimum impedance of the Mission 770?
The minimum impedance is 6 Ω, making it well within the range of most quality amplifiers but worth noting for matching with sensitive electronics.

Does the Mission 770 have bi-wire or bi-amp terminals?
The specification sheet does not explicitly mention bi-wire terminals; it is a standard single pair of speaker binding posts. You can check with the retailer, but standard wiring is fully adequate.
Is a subwoofer necessary with the Mission 770?
Not strictly. The Mission 770 offers bass down to ~30 Hz in suitable rooms, which reduces the need for a subwoofer in many setups. However, if you want deep-bass extension beyond that, or home-theatre integration, a subwoofer can complement the system.
How critical is toe-in or listener distance for the Mission 770?
Proper toe-in enhances the Mission 770’s imaging and soundstage. Aim to position the speakers such that you form an equilateral triangle between each speaker and your listening position, and experiment with slight toe-in to focus the midrange effectively.
What type of room acoustics considerations apply for the Mission 770?
Because the Mission 770 has high-performance drivers and low coloration, your room's acoustics matter. Good placement, moderate absorption/reflection control (not heavy deadening), and allowing the speakers room to breathe will yield the best results.
Can the Mission 770 be used for both music and home theatre?
Yes, the Mission 770 is primarily a high-fidelity stereo/music loudspeaker but can also function as part of a home theatre system if you align its tonal character with center and surround speakers for tonal matching.
How durable is the Mission 770 build and finish?
The Mission 770 is built in the UK with high standards of quality control, and the use of real-wood veneers and robust drivers ensures long-term reliability. With proper care the finish and performance will hold up for many years.
How does the Mission 770 compare to earlier versions of the same model?
The new Mission 770 is a ground-up redesign of the iconic earlier Mission 770, retaining the spirit but with modern driver materials (mineral-loaded polypropylene), modern cabinet construction and updated crossover engineering to perform well in today’s systems.
