Mission 700S refinished

The Mission 700S got a completed overhaul and I am enjoying these fine speakers. No wonder they were rated as a best buy back in the early 80's. These speakers do everything that Mission made name for themselves.

I re foamed the woofers, re capped the crossover and sanded out the scratches in the cabinets and re stained them.

The original Vifa D19 TD tweeters have been replaced with Philips AD 11410 dome tweeters which I find to be better than the original Vifa's. I always found the Vifa D19 TD tweeters to be a bit shrill and fatiguing after awhile. The Philips tweeters were glued to the original round faceplate of the Vifa tweeters.

These were great speakers back when I first bought them and they are great today. They have been playing all day and I have yet to tire of them.

Mission 700S

I just picked up a pair of Mission 700S, the first speakers I bought when I started my journey down the audiophile path. These speakers will probably need to be re foamed, re capped and re finished as there are some water stains on the real walnut veneer.

These speakers were well regarded in the early 80's as an budget audiophile speaker. There is a 8" woofer over top of a Vifa TD 19 tweeter and ported at the bottom. The covers are permanently attached.
