Mission 750 Bookshelf Speakers Review: A Modern Classic Unleashed
Mission 750 Bookshelf Speakers Review
Welcoming the Mission 750 to the audiophile domain, these compact standmount loudspeakers channel Mission’s modern-classic heritage into a neat bookshelf format. With influences drawn from the award-winning 700 and flagship 770 series, the 750 series sets a new price point without compromising sonic sophistication or the acclaimed inverted geometry design.
A New Member of the Mission Family
The Mission 750 emerges as a fresh concept: smaller than its 700 and 770 predecessors, yet infused with the same ethos. Measuring just 355 × 216 × 305 mm (including terminals), it suits tighter installations or dedicated two-channel setups. A multi-layer sandwich cabinet with acoustic damping adhesive, internal bracing, foam lining and long-hair fibre ensures resonance control rivalled only by much larger enclosures.
Design & Build Quality
Crafted in the UK from real-wood veneer (Walnut or Black Oak finish) with Mission’s trademark white baffle and logo, the Mission 750 is both elegant and robust. The custom rear reflex ports extend bass response to a claimed 42 Hz (-6 dB), which is exceptional for a 12.2 L cabinet volume. Rubber feet provide secure isolation, while the 6 Ω nominal impedance and 86 dB sensitivity (2.83 V/1 m) accommodate a wide range of amplifiers (25 W – 100 W recommended).
Inverted Geometry Design: Time Alignment Perfected
True to Mission lineage, the 750 integrates the proprietary Inverted Geometry Design (IGD). By placing the 28 mm microfibre dome tweeter below the 135 mm polypropylene bass/mid driver, sound waves converge at ear height, optimising time alignment and phase coherence. The meticulously calculated 2.4 kHz crossover, refined via CAD-driven optimisation, yields a seamless tonal balance across the spectrum.
Drivers & Sound Signature
The newly engineered 5.25″ mineral-loaded polypropylene cone driver boasts a rigid cast chassis and low-density surround, delivering tight, dynamic bass and midrange transparency. The coated microfibre soft dome treble unit, housed in a damped rear chamber, extends high-frequency bandwidth with minimal coloration and a silky, unforced treble roll-off. The result is an engaging, detailed presentation—from piano nuances to orchestral crescendos—without harshness or fatigue.
Performance in the Listening Room
In a well-treated environment, the Mission 750 delivers remarkable soundstaging and imaging precision. The combination of high SPL capacity (peak 103 dB) and controlled dispersion invites a lifelike sense of space. Bass extension below 50 Hz impresses without boominess, and the midband remains articulate across diverse genres—whether monitoring acoustic jazz or navigating electronica’s dynamic swings.
Who Should Consider the Mission 750?
A perfect match for discerning music lovers seeking more than a casual hi-fi, the Mission 750 suits small to medium-sized rooms and pairs effortlessly with boutique integrated amplifiers. If you crave studio-quality detail, precise imaging and a blend of modern innovation with classic Mission styling, these speakers are for you.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Exceptional time alignment via IGD; robust cabinet design with low resonance; detailed microfibre tweeter; surprising bass extension for size; versatile amplifier compatibility.
- Cons: Requires stands or shelving for optimal placement; modest sensitivity means pairing with low-power tube amps may be challenging.
