Hello
To you who have knowledge of the Mission speaker company.
What are their best speakers? large bookshelves.
Thanks!

The 782's go down about 1/2 octave lower than the original 770's which is another great one. The 781's (slightly smaller) are also very good but not at higher volume levels.

A really fine bookshelf speaker, with dual woofers and a center tweeter, 90db/8ohms. I have had several pairs of these and they never cease to surprise me with how good they sound. They show up periodically on e-bay and typically sell for under $200!

The 751 was Missions top of the line monitor, replacing the original 761i and original 780. There are later versions of the 780 (and 782?) that failed IMO to capture the midrange of the original Missions. I still have a pair of 731i for a second system - hard to beat for the price.
