Although I am not sure I would pay that much attention to the specs (except maybe impedance and sensitivity). I should note that I own both the 731i and 760i. I still like the 731i a bit more (more lively, more forward and involving) and have been running it for 21 years now. I am not sure on the 761i (with the two base drivers), I expect them to sound quite a bit different - much lower crossover (4.5KHz in the 760i vs 2.8KHz in the 761i). I tried many different stand speaker - still kept the Missions 731i over LS3/5s, KEF LS50, and Andrew Jones Elac Uni-Fi UB5. Mission 761i Specification: Freq. Response: +-2.5db: 70Hz-20KHz Freq. Response: -6db: 55Hz Impedance 8 ohms. Sensitivity SPL 90 db for 1 W @ 1m. Recommended Amplifier 25-100 watts. Max SPL per Pair 103 db. Drive Units:130mm LF Plasiflex (LF), 19mm Polymide FF Cooled (HF) Crossover Frequency: 2.8Khz Volume: 12.5 Litres Dimension: 380 x 190 x 240 mm (H x W x D). Weight: 13.5 kg

I was always a fan of Mission speakers and they still sound great. Upgrade the output caps (cheap and easy) and you will have a great time listening to these.

I've been looking for a pair to use as a Center for my Mission 753's, I'm using a single 760i at the moment. Nice little pair of bookshelf speakers and the probably go for peanuts these days...

I can find information for Mission 761 but not for Mission 761i model. Thank you.

I heard them first in 1992, when they were being replaced by the 731 together with the rest of the Mission line up. I fell in love with Missions top of the line monitors at the time (the 751), which I bought several years later. We still have have the 751s as our main speakers (see my system). Also we have a pair of 731i's in out second system. Both are wonderful speakers with a great midrange. If you need some more info on the 761i, I have the manual that came with the 731i, which also includes the 761i speakers. I could send you a scanned pdf copy if you are interested. Enjoy your Mission speakers. Rene
