Mission 750 LE Bookshelf Speaker

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...

Review of Mission 750

On a mission...

Advantages: Cheap very affordable Speaker, with unbelievable amounts of quality.
Disadvantages: Too much bass for some... but not for me...

...for extended periods of use. And above all else when people see these dominant, yet sleek speakers they can't help but say wow. There big, but not too big, but do be sure that your room is big enough for the sound they produce... My top tips for buying using and listening to Mission 702e's:- These speakers are very cheap now, if you shop at the right outlets. I suggest looking in What Hi-Fi for prices, but I have seen them for as little as £79.99!! Choose your amplifier very carefully, as some amps I listened to with these speakers gave some disappointing results. For instance the Technics amp as good as it is in its own right sounded very flat. Listen to the speakers on a low volume for a period of time i.e. - 4 weeks or more. This will help to bed the speaker in, and avoid any unnecessary damage to the driver (Over driving...

MISSION IMPROBABLE

Advantages: Good action, Tom Cruise is good
Disadvantages: Weak story and some poor cast

...‘This is not mission difficult, this is mission impossible.’ Not a bad quote from the film, after all this is supposed to be the best of the best in the spying world. Mission Impossible 2 follows on from the original film, with Tom Cruise as the best spy in the world facing the toughest assignments. Just the film does not turn out to be the best of the best in the film world, despite some decent stunts and Cruise in there it just does not cut it among the best. Tom Cruise is Ethan Hunt, top spy for the IMF to bust worldwide terrorism and anything wrong with the world. This time he is out to stop former colleague and spy Sean Ambrose (Dougray Scott) from unleashing a new and deadly killer virus on the world. Their fiendishly brilliant plan this time is to release the virus that unless treated within 20 hours results...

It's Creative with speakers!

Advantages: Tiny, FM radio, voice recorder, speaker
Disadvantages: Quite some, read the review

...I never had a great respect for Creative?s audio quality, in a sense they are know to have at best ?above average? and normally ?average? audio quality. None of their audio products has ever reached, forget about over running, the standard set out by the best up there. This new Creative ZEN Stone Plus is no exception only that you get a speaker system, whose sound quality is not more than what you can expect from speaker so tiny, as a bonus and only that. The Upgrade to Creative Zen Stone plus, keeping the same price tag with upgraded accessories without charges. Providing silicon skin and detachable clip for the skin plus the standard ear-bud, instructions and of course the USB cable. I thought it was an inch from the Shuffle and Clip. The skin is a quality one providing openings for USB cable and the speaker. The new Zen Stone...

Magnificient Monster Mission

Advantages: Super stroyline
Disadvantages: Maybe a little scary for some children

...Monster Mission is a fantastic book for children and even young adults. It is a fantasy style story written by Eva Ibbotson and was first published in 1999. The story is 230 pages in length but is split into manageable chapters making it easy to digest and read in small chunks. I think however that most people will find like I did that the book is quite intriguing once you begin and that it is difficult to pull yourself away from it. Monster Mission tells the story of on Secret Island upon which three aunts are plotting to kidnap three children. The Aunts however are not kidnapping the children for any evil purpose, oh no the Aunts are kidnapping the children simply because the island needs them. The Secret Island in question is a refugee for all kinds of magical and wonderful creatures and although the Aunts are trying their very...

Review of Monster Mission - Eva Ibbotson

Do not watch a horror movie using these speakers

Advantages: small, excellent sound
Disadvantages: a matter of taste

...I am not an audio specialist, so I will just try to tell you in my own words the experience with this audio video speaker system set. If you want to know about the exact technical specifications, please visit the Mission website at http://www.mission.co.uk/index1.htm and click on product gallery, FS2 AV. The system comprises a centre speaker, 4 satellite speakers (front left & right and surround left & right) and an active subwoofer. Mission managed to keep the speakers very small (HxWxD = 31x13x4.5cm!)given the fact that a new technology is used (NXT, see www.nxt.co.uk). With this technology you do not need cones of various sizes to reproduce sounds of various wavelengths. The speakers are actually made of a sandwich construction of 2mm foam core with woven glass fiber outer skin. The idea bhind NXT is that a speaker sound panel...

Review of Mission FS2 AV Speaker System

Your Mission, Should You Accept It - Is To Read This Review!

Advantages: Fast pacy spy adventure, with great music and some equally great stunts.
Disadvantages: Stunts a bit far fetched - but you expect that with this sort of film.

...Mission Impossible (1996) We just felt in the mood for an older movie, but an excellent film all the same to watch as a family, as pickings are a bit slim at the moment. My children picked it for us to watch as a family. What's it all about? Of course the film is based upon the same set up used in the television series of the same name. Having said this, I have not watched any of the original series as this was before my time. The film is a secret agent movie, with a group of agents given the task of going to Prague to stop a top secret list of agents, passing into the hands of traitors. The group are told to walk away if the mission fails and that their bosses will not admit to knowing them if they are captured. The mission does go awry and it seems that all of the agents are killed, all except for Ethan Hunt (Tom...

Small Speakers, Small Sound

Advantages: Small, lightweight, can be used with any mp3 player
Disadvantages: Sound quality isn't great - speakers not very powerful

...Introduction I previously posted a review for the Sanza Fuze mp3 player I bought for my daughter. Well, one of the joys of having a child is you buy them something and then they ask you for accessories, and this was no exception - I needed to get a wall charger separately and she also asked for speakers. Most of the content my daughter has on her mp3 player is on her laptop, for which I bought her high quality speakers that give her excellent sound quality, so when she asked for speakers I told her I was only going to get cheap portable ones rather than spend a lot of money on something that would merely duplicate what her laptop does. Choosing the Speakers My daughter isn't particularly fussy about sound quality, so she was happy to go along with this and I did a little research online in search of something that would fit...

Mission Accomplished!

Advantages: Bags of scope to personalise your mechs, good storyline
Disadvantages: Some over-long dialogue sections drag a bit and sometimes the loading takes a while

...Sombody asked me just yesterday to name my top 10 PSone games and amongst other better known titles, I mentioned Front Mission 3, which I felt I should explain a little as she'd probably not heard of it. As I started to explain I realised that it deserved a review, even if it is a bit outdated now. So here we are... GAME INFO Genre = Turn-based strategy/RPG (Role Playing Game) Publisher = Squaresoft Players = 1 Player Online = No Age = No certificate Released = 2000 STORYLINE The year is 2112 and you play Kazuki Takemura who, along with his good buddy Ryogo, is a wanzer test pilot. Wanzers (frequently referred to elsewhere as 'mechs') are essentially large robots with human pilots, the name being derived from the German 'wanderung panzer' which, if my GCSE German serves me correctly, means 'walking armour'. Anyway, is...
