    Off to pick up a pair Mission 770 Mkiis that I got for £31. Always regretted selling my old ones.

    May just leave it. Won't have much effect at LF unit frequencies.

    Otherwise, hoover or a pin.

    I put my original pair in the attic when I moved to ProAc Tablettes under domestic pressure. By the time I sold them, I'd upgraded my TT, arm, cartridge and amps. Plugged them in to demonstrate to the buyer that they worked and was horrified to hear how good they were. Buyer had travelled to collect so had no choice but to let them go.

    Makes me laugh how over the years people have so called seemingly upgraded & upgraded spending many thousands thinking they are reaching audio nirvana, in reality they are deluding themselves.. when at somepoint they hear something like speakers they used many moons ago & realise they been such plonkers over the years, also realising they have effectivly degraded & Degraded

    Re: pork pie show, i was horrified to hear so much shit sounding stereos on the day that people actually though sounded good

    I would never ever entertain another pair of modern speakers. These are the ones i use now Original 737 which replaced the white faced 727

    Some very sticky masking tape might do the trick as those dust covers are a plastki type material you cant rip.. being that they might show traces of creases back out.

    I have some of the very old original Mission 77's here. Tehy sound OK, I was considering giving them to a freind for his system.

    Lol Andre. I was given them and never used them, so 'share the love', 'karma' and all that...
