Mission 753 Floorstanders?

I think my Mission 761i bookshelf spks. are fantastic. Beautiful mids/treble. I would think your 753's are exceptional spks as well. (I have always wanted to own the Freedom 752's. One day I hope.) I reached the point where I know what sounds good (Enough) and if it costs little $, so much the better. Bill

It is a misconception that gear has to have a "name". If it sounds good to you, then that's all that matters.

Enjoy your Mission speakers.

Mission was a respectable product just not super high end. I would say better than "mid-fi" also... just not very visible product at the moment. Big in late 80's early 90's.

Interesting. Thanks for the comments. My wife does not want Floorstanders in our living room so they are consigned to the basement for now. I haven't listened to them in a long time but remember them as being good on a lot of different types of music.

Ahhh Missions. My first what I considered to be my first affordable audiophile speaker. Personally I think the original 770 was the start of affordable audiophile speaker. From there they had good and bad. I was ready to pull the trigger on a set of 765's when my local asked me to wait because he was getting a new Cyrus/Mission line. The 78x series. Well I'm really glad I waited an extra 3 weeks. I ended up with the 782 monitors which didn't sound as nasally as the 765's, smoother highs and although not as deep of bass a much less muddied bass. Best of all they retailed for 800 vs 1500 for the 765's. The only speaker I liked better at that time frame was the B&W matrix 3's but couldn't step up to the 2500 window sticker. Still have the 782's today but haven't listened to them in 3 years.

From some things I've read current mission speakers seem to be a surprising good value for the money although I no longer have any local mission dealers for me to verify that.

So my experience is that most the missions were a very good speaker value back in the day.
