No, I sold mine last year. The ferrofluid had completely dried up in the tweeters which stopped them working but I managed to find some in HK that were a perfect fit & luckily sounded better than the originals with no crossover mods.

Are they much different from the 780SE? I got a pair for about £35 off ebay.

Never owned 780SE, James. Surely a member on here has owned a pair

Yes I had a pair of the original 780 SE speakers. They were brilliant! very dynamic little beggars, they did everything well. They are an absolute bargain at the prices they fetch these days.
Forget your LS3/5As, Minimaxes, and Maxims, these are way more fun!
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

No doubt the 780SE might fetch silly money in the near future. Thanks to you, Geoff

It wouldn't be much of a hifi forum if we couldn't say what we like or don't like for fear of increasing resale prices would it?No doubt the 780SE might fetch silly money in the near future. Thanks to you, Geoff
The Missions seem to like a good few watts up 'em. I am using a cheap t amp atm but briefly tried my AV amp on direct mode. It sounded really good.
