The new Mission 750 standmounter is something of an odd one out in Mission’s trio of retro-styled 700 series speakers. While the range-topping 770 and mid-priced 700 were both inspired by classic models from the company’s past, the 750 doesn’t have that kind of direct heritage to lean on. It is an all-new design that isn’t based on anything that has gone before. Does that matter? Not to us. If it shares the excellent engineering DNA of its pricier siblings and delivers the performance to match, then it could be something of a bargain.
Things start off well in that regard. The 750 was initially launched at £899 in the UK, but that was quickly adjusted down to £699 once the speakers hit the market. A large part of that decision was to make the 750 a more price-compatible partner for Mission's lovely little 778X integrated amplifier (£489 / $749 / AU$989). In the UK that price drop also moves the 750 further away from exceptional rivals such as KEF’s LS50 Meta (£999 / $1450 / AU$2500) and directly up against Award-winners like the Bowers & Wilkins 606 S3 (£669 / $818 / AU$1349).
