Mission 790 SE
Compact bookshelf speaker from Mission, with coincident drivers and titanium cones, designed for modestly sized rooms without sacrificing sonic precision.
Description
The Mission 790 SE is a compact bookshelf speaker designed to deliver detailed sound in a restricted format, suited to rooms where installing large speakers is not an option.
It incorporates a set of coincident drivers housed in a bass reflex cabinet, a configuration that aims to reproduce clear voices and smooth midrange while building a spacious soundstage regardless of listening position within the room.
The driver cones are made of titanium, a material chosen for its rigidity. The speaker also features isolated terminals allowing bi-wiring, as well as magnetic shielding making it easier to install near other appliances sensitive to magnetic fields.
This model is aimed at listeners looking to equip a compact space, living room or office, with a pair of speakers capable of reproducing both music and film soundtracks, without requiring a large amount of installation space.
What to check before buying used
The suspensions of the coincident drivers deserve close inspection: sagging or hardening of the foam results in a dull or distorted sound, particularly in the bass. Also check the condition of the cabinetwork (veneer, corners, rear of the enclosure) and the seal of the bass reflex port, as a worn gasket impairs bass reproduction. An inspection of the bi-wire terminals is also advisable, as oxidation of the contacts can degrade the connection with the wiring.
