Mission 700 Bookshelf Loudspeakers with Stands (pair)

A two-way standmount with a 6.5″ bass driver and a warm, rich, natural sound.

Inverted Driver Geometry

The Mission 700 was a precursor for what would become a Mission standard in an unconventional driver array, something Mission refers to as ‘Inverted Driver Geometry’. Not just a design statement, IDG is a staple of Misson loudspeaker design from the 700 onwards. By positioning the treble unit below the bass/midrange driver, the length of the path is equalised so the sound waves coincide at the listener’s head height. This principle improves ‘time alignment’.
Such design requires more than just inverting the speaker cabinet. Every aspect of the industrial and mechanical design requires a precision calculation to ensure the positioning, spacing and alignment aids the objective of optimum ‘time alignment’. This is perfected by an artisan-level crossover design.

Form factor remains true to the original, including the hand-applied, rich rose-tinted walnut or black real wood veneers and a luxurious laminated white-front baffle.
