Good Points

Fantastic price, Great integrated sound, Fantastic huge bass response, Very compact, Good quality crossover, Bi-wirable, Well made, A definite upgrade from the standard 760i, Look very nice with the grills on.


Bad Points

Sound could be a little closed-in, Only available in black ash, Need good stands to really make them shine, look a bit cosmetically challenged with the grills off.


General Comments

This review is for the 760SE which cost £150 new in the early 90's. These Mission speakers will only be available second hand now, but would be worth a purchase if the price is right.
I listened to the standard 760 in the shop after reading a five star magazine review & was so disappointed, lack of bass or treble - they just sounded boring!! The guy at the Hifi shop them suggested I listen to the SE variant & I was amazed at the difference. The most noticeable difference was the bass being far fuller & richer going incredibly deep for the size of the tiny enclosures. The sound as a whole was very impressive for the price so I bought them, along with some expensive 'Sonic-link' AST bi-wire speaker cable & took them home. At the time I had a Yamaha Amp, CD player, Tuner & later a Project turntable & Apollo speaker stands.
I was really pleased with the sound & loved listening to any music through them - especially rock & acoustic music. They really did everything they should very well & for £150 they where an absolute steal!! I eventually upgraded to a pair of fantastic Mission 751's which took my Hifi in general to a totally different league & made the 760SE's sound a bit shut-in in comparison, but the 751's did cost over twice price so the side-by-side test was unfair to say the least!!
I would recommend the Mission 760iSE to anyone who is setting up or venturing into hifi separates & can find a pair reasonably priced - you will not be disappointed. Highly recommended!!
