Mission Elegante E8AS1

Advantages: Its Mission quality
Disadvantages: Not much Speaker for the money you have to pay

...To celebrate their 25th anniversary Mission launched the 750 Limited Edition bookshelf speakers. Only 7000 pairs of this little gorgeous sculpture are being made, and then it's over. The 750 is an entirely new speaker, based on no older Missions. It comes as a tiny but weighty 2-way model, clad in lush real rosewood or black ash veneer, and looking not unlike a Sonus Faber Extrema (after all this is an Italian magazine, so I have to honour my host, comprende?). The driver compliment is made up of a 13cm Aerogel woofer, and a silk dome tweeter (as in the other Mission 75-series speakers). The bi-wiring binding posts are heavily gold-plated, and there is a reflex port at the back, which precludes use close to a wall. Sensitivity is 86dB/W@1m, and the nominal impedance is 6 Ohms, not hard to drive. The 750s look very attractive... Read review

Advantages: Good solid structure, Perfect for acoustic music
Disadvantages: Design a little to far out, slightly over priced

...I've always been a huge music fan i will listen to anything from classical to techno. As a music lover sound quality is a big issue to me. I found it hard to find a well priced speaker that produced the sound quality I was pleased with until the day i brought myself a pair of MIssion 700's for the amazing price of £80. After years of service I thought it was time for change but wanted to stick with Mission as the quality and price was so good. I went to acquire my new speakers and came across the Mission M51. i asked for a demo spent some time listening to them and although the sound quality was just as crisp as my first pair of Missions the price and design just did not compare. the look of them is one of a trendy wine bar covered in chrome not something you want in your living room. i also could not part with £289 for a pair...
