They are well packed and insured to be shipped to you.
Description
The original Mission 700 was a milestone in the history of loudspeaker design; the acclaim the model received and the success it achieved were so great. It is even widely known that budget loudspeakers before the 700 were simply boomboxes.
Thanks to years of research and refinement, Mission can now introduce a unique, advanced, and high-technology bookshelf system: the 700 Leading Edge.
Advanced technology has been used to develop an exceptional 7-inch bass-midrange driver. Shaped pole pieces and an ultrathin voice-coil opening, combined with a stiff high-mass cone, provide an unusually extended bass response. Refined cone geometry and damping, with progressive hyperbolic suspension, offer both high power handling and inherently low coloration.
This bass-midrange driver is complemented by a ferrofluid-cooled 19 mm dome tweeter. The system is capable of reproducing material with an exceptional dynamic range, including digital masters, and remains linear even at modest power levels—unlike many non-linear systems that at low levels sound little better than a transistor radio.
The unusual inverted loudspeaker configuration, first designed by Henry Azima in the Mission 700, helps to even out the distance between the acoustic centers of the speakers and the ears of the normally seated listener. The effect of such a design is that the radiation pattern at the crossover frequency, up, toward the listener, is aimed rather than down toward the floor.
Refinement goes one step further with the use of a delayed soundboard, resulting in substantially better linearity of the acoustic phase, with substantial improvements in realism, dynamics, and stereo imaging. The soundboard itself is precisely injection-m molded in polypropylene reinforced with natural composite materials. This, in combination with Mission’s multiple construction techniques for the speaker cabinet, yields a phenomenal transient response.
