Mission 700 w/ Stands - Bookshelf Speakers

Embark on a sensational audio journey with the reimagined Mission 700 w/ Stands - Bookshelf Speakers. Built as the sibling of the celebrated and highly-anticipated Mission 770, the new Mission 700 is more than just a rehash of the revered original 700 model—touted as an industry standard—it is a testament to Mission's rich 45-year legacy in pioneering loudspeaker design. Mission's Director of Acoustic Design, Peter Comeau, has breathed new life and innovation into the enduring design, grounding it firmly in the present day without sacrificing its timeless aesthetic. This new model proudly sports a unique polypropylene bass/midrange driver along with a model-specific motor system, which not only amplifies the capabilities of modern power handling, but also upholds the uncoloured extended response that put the original model on the map. This makes the new Mission 700 emblematic of what a class-leading loudspeaker stands for: a finely-tuned symphony of rigidity, precision, energy, and exhilarating performances. Discover the proprietary Inverted Driver Geometry, a hallmark of Mission’s speakers, designed with meticulous calculation for optimal ‘time alignment’. Dive into the intricacies of the artisan-level crossover design, an integral part of the Mission construction process, combining state-of-the-art software mapping and simulation with countless hours of listening tests, resulting in a speaker that excels in musicality and stunning detail. Prepare to be awe-struck as the new Mission 700 brings a sound bath brimming with depth, precision, speed and a dynamic range that not only meets but trumps the applauded performance of its predecessor. Expect nothing less than a nostalgic, history-rich model that delivers a moving musical performance, enhanced with modern technology. The Mission 700 maintains its original charm, wrapped in rich, hand-applied rose-tinted walnut or black real wood veneers, complemented by a sleek laminated white front baffle. Meanwhile, internally, advanced methods are at play to reduce resonance and reflections. The technological know-how and nostalgic allure of the Mission 700 promise a listening experience that is phenomenally detailed, uncoloured and loaded with emotion—in short, a venture into the future that respects the past. Add the captivating Mission 700 Bookshelf Speakers to your space and let the music speak for itself!

Mission 700 w/ Stands features

  1. Model-Specific Motor System: The upgraded motor in the Mission 700 reflects a refined balance of power and precision. It enhances modern power handling abilities and maintains an extended response with low colouration.

  2. Inverted Driver Geometry: Known as a hallmark of Mission’s loudspeaker designs, this characteristic is optimised to achieve superior 'time alignment'. Placing the treble unit below the bass/midrange driver matches sound wave paths to coincide at listener's ear level.

  4. Cabinet Construction: The hand-applied rose-tinted walnut or black real veneers complement the sleek, laminated white front baffle. Internally, damping adhesive, bracing, and mixed materials help to suppress resonance and reflections, thereby enhancing acoustic performance.

  5. 2-Way Vented-Box / Standmount: This not only facilitates flexible installation but also contributes to delivering an immersive soundfield with the quintessential accuracy and linearity of Mission’s speaker design.

  3. Redefined Audio Performance: The use of advanced software and extensive listening tests ensure the new Mission 700 is even better than its iconic predecessor.

  4. Aesthetically Pleasing: The bespoke veneers and sleek front panel not only complement the rest of your decor but are also indicative of Mission's attention to detail and design.

  5. Dampened Resonance and Reflection: Experience clearer and more detailed sound quality thanks to the sophisticated cabinet design incorporating anti-resonance materials and techniques.

  6. Greater Flexibility: Can be used as a standmount or vented-box speaker, a testament to Mission’s commitment to adaptability based on user's convenience.
