Old meets new

Mission bookshelf has classic appeal

With its white baffle and walnut or black wood veneer finishes, Mission’s 750 is instantly recognisable as the speaker manufacturer’s latest ‘retro’ model, although unlike the 770, it is not a resurrection of an earlier design. A two-way bookshelf/standmount measuring 216x355x270mm (whd), it places a 135mm mineral-loaded polypropylene bass/mid driver and a 28mm microfibre dome tweeter (with damped rear chamber) in an inverted configuration. The speaker’s rear-ported MDF/particle board twin-wall cabinet is also damped with acoustic fibre. Pricing is £899, and Mission suggests its own Stance stands at £129 per pair as ideal partners.
