Fs: Mission 752 freedom floorstanders - excellent !!!

[RobbieGong]

Thought I'd never ever move these on, such has been my love for them, However I've had to spend a bucket load more to find a worthy replacement.

They are the speaker that introduced me to the world of genuine hi fidelity, it was love at first sound.

Coming from the mid 90's, They are regarded as a classic and one of Missions best efforts,

They have brought me untold musical pleasure over the years and when you think they cant possibly give anymore they shine the more with every single upgrade I've put down.

As I say, It will be with heavy heart and a bag load of fond memories that I finally let these go.

Presentation is detailed, organic / natural, non fatiguing with fabulous imaging courtesy of it's excellent Aerogel mid- bass driver.

Mids are beautiful where the 'music' is, vocals, horns and all those little nuances come through naturally.

The silk dome tweeter was / is a nice step up from the slightly zingy, very warm / bright, waspish metal dome of its original (non Freedom) incarnation and was one of the things Mission rightly addressed with the revised Freedom (I've had both)

My newly acquired Spendor D7's just shade them in terms of a being more extended in all areas and to be expected at a cost of thousands more !

Honestly never thought I would Grant, had to spend a shed load of dough on the Spendors that replaced them and we are not talking big or miles better considering they cost thousands more.

Any how I could have two systems they'd never leave the house. £140 just doesnt give any idea :rolleyes:

[struth]

the missions i had were pretty decent. imagine these to be much better.. i expect them to go quickly

Didnt think Id see you part with your Missions, what you replaced them with???

Hi Steve, Spendor D7, hence I'm skint and selling stuf to recoup funds :lol: :)

[Macca]

End of an era this is.

Good speakers these and at a bargain price. Worth a few quid in petrol to go and collect them.

[guyhayton]

If I didn't have a pair already in my system.... these are an absolute bargain for some lucky person out there!

[Edward]

I had a pair at one time. Happy days. At the price you are asking an absolute steal. GLWS.

Hi Steve, Spendor D7, hence I'm skint and selling stuf to recoup funds :lol: :)

I heard the spendor d7 speakers a couple of week back
Only one word describes how they sound

( SUBLIME )

My sentiments exactly Steve,

They are however a true and genuine transducer ie: they dont sugar the cake, they are very revealing so you here the recorded music - after all.......;)

If It's a good recording you'll here everything laid out as it is, beautiful,

If the recording is a bit bright or hot then you'll here it. I love the way they get right inside and give you it, no cover up, disguise or bury so to speak :D

[RobbieGong]

BUMP! in the night otherwise she'll soon be off to the 'Bay :)

[Audio Al]

I shared a demo room with Paul at the WW show
He was using a pair of these speakers , I was suprised how good they sounded , We even changed over to my AI 500 valve amp , they went to another level :eek:

They would be good in a small room as they are front ported , the lower positioning of the tweeter works

They are very good for the asking price , IF you are hovering just do it you wont regret it , Quality speakers for very little money ,

Money well spent :)

[RobbieGong]

Yes Al, i used them with SS - One flagship Technics SU-VX800, the excellent Sansui AU-919 and then my current Sansui AU alpha 707 DR, always great sound in my modest small/medium room.

I can imagine they are wonderful with valves.

They are now up on the 'Bay too. Will be sad to see them go.

[Edward]

Every time I look at this thread I'm reminded how much I enjoyed my Freedoms.

Robert, be cautious about getting paid via PayPal and having the speakers collected after a sale on the bay. You are putting a lot of trust on the buyer unless you can agree only via friends and family PayPal.

Oh, thanks for that, would you suggest cash on collection as best ?

[Edward]

Oh, thanks for that, would you suggest cash on collection as best ?Yes indeed cash on collection is best. Also, if you can, get the buyer to give positive eBay feedback at the same time.

Good luck.

Oakey dokes and thanks. I'll amend the listing to show cash on collection - Cheers Rob

[RobbieGong]

Fathers Day bump ! ( 8 watchers on the 'Bay ) :)

[sumday]

Surprised these are still here.
I loved mine for many years.....they were positioned near a door and i got almost pervy pleasure rapping the tops with a knuckle as I passed....very dead cabs.
The new owners may note a small improvement in sound if a small amount of waddling is placed behind the bass driver.....just damping panels applied to the walls as standard

[maverick2000]

I sold my 752 Freedoms last year, spent many £000s to improve on them

great bass, note the Freedoms are MUCH better than the mkI 752s due the tweeter swap

bargain for someone, GLWTS
