MISSION 737 rennaissance Speakers

[struth]

In fine fettle and sounding very good indeed. having a clearout and these will likely not be needed although they do sound very good and close to my kefs.

They owe me £75 so thats the price... pick up only! ...although if anyone wants to orginise a courier to come and pick them up I will pack them as well as i can which will be good.:eyebrows: being disabled though it might take time...

a snip at £75 I would think.

I had a pair for a week or so, lent them to a pal and never got them back :( Great bass and mid-band on these (I think it was a 770 bass-mid driver used).

[struth]

Yes Dave, it was I think the last version and some say it bettered the originals. Here is some info on these


Description
After many years of evolutionary refinements the most advanced version of the Mission 770 drive unit is now designed into our new model 737 Renaissance.

The cone membrane for this model offers a unique combination of rigidity, lightness and acoustic opaqueness. The drive unit is manufactured into an esoteric die-cast magnesium chassis to improve rigid coupling.

The acoustic properties of the cone are such that they do not allow for internal reflection and standing waves to come out of the cabinet and reach the listener out of phase. Furthermore, a solid block of Mission acoustic foam is built into the inside of the cabinet to attenuate such standing waves.

The Renaissance cabinet is of precision multi-folded construction, visco-elastically damped and incorporates our special MDF baffle board. The total system is reflexed using the Mission resistive port and resulting in extended low frequency and power handling performance.

The Renaissance now possesses many attributes of its predecessor but at substantially lower cost. For this model, as well as the 770 Freedom and the 780 Argonaut, special Mission stands are available which lock into the loudspeaker and are offered as an optional extra.

The Renaissance is recommended for use with amplifiers ranging from 30W to 120W per channel.

Are you sure they are 1985, be a bit later than that they have Missions tweeters? Mine were the original version with the Audax Tweeter, Real wood veneer cabs & Pink/White speckled backs. i bought those in 1985 with the Mission 'DAD7000R' CD Player.

[struth]

Must be Andre. I actually thought them bought in 83 but it must be 85 as thats when they came out apparently. Brother got married in 86 I think and he had them for a while b4.
Very surprised these have not been snapped up at this price and condition.....might just find space and keep them for a while.;) they sound very good.

[hifilover]

They look lovely speakers!

A bit big for my desktop but I bet they sound superb!

[The Barbarian]

[Gazjam]

Great result.
Considering the work Grant has put in to these speakers someone is going to get a helluva bargain!

[struth]

cheers gary... yep and just put in a 3 hr shift packing them! should survive all but a direct hit with a cruise missile:eyebrows:. had to make a box:doh:

[struth]

ps Andre bro was down today and deffo had them for at least 2 years b4 he got married in 86 so he reckons 84 ....

[The Barbarian]

Were on about your version of that model here, not the design in general..1984 would have been the version with the Audax tweeter not that tweeter you have, that was later on..

The original '737' was the speaker that replaced the '727'..At about the same time the silver faced '770S' replaced the '770 Mk.3'

We need Dave Rance on the job :D
