    I just wonder if any of the critics on the 702e Missions, or any other speaker for that matter, took in consideration the acoustics of the room they have set up the speakers.
    Many people buy equelizers for the wrong reasons while their main purpose is to "balance" the acoustics within the room your speakers have to perform. Once you balanced the accoutics you never touch the equelizer again.
    Yes, my experiece was exactly the same with my 702e's. My 20 year old Teaks sounds even better. I went ...

    I've been running a pair of Mission 702e stereo speakers for 3 years. I have them bi-wired with QED original, on concrete slabs, away from the wall and slightly "toed in". I currently run a Sony cdp-XB930 cd player through a Yamaha AX-492 amplifier (85wpc). After 3 years i am still totally sold on these speakers. Although they can sound a bit strained with a lower powered amp, having tried them with a NAD C3020 (25wpc) and a Sony TA-F30 (30wpc). Compared to newer mission offerings the vinyl ...

    When I tried to buy these Mission 702e Stereo Speakers from Richer Sounds, they desperatley tried to flog me some Eltax Liberty floor standers. Eventually they gave me the missions and I have been very impressed. I am upgrading my amp to a NAD C350 and a guy a Richer said it wasn't worth it as the Missions would be rubbish, had a high failure rate and wouldn't cope with a loud kick drum. I have cranked up these speakers using a live version of Hotel California from the Eagles 'When Hell Freezes ...

    I purchased these Mission 702e from audio T second hand for £65. These have been a great success. Their bass is satisfying and punchy. The treble is riddled with clarity and you can hear them at half volume a long way away. The quality is still exceptional from this far away to be honest. My grandfather who has owned various pieces of equipment made by quad (which are the so called best make of brand for hi-fi) said that he thought that they were better than his amasing Quad esl 63's when ...

    Well what can I say, I bought my Mission's from Richersounds in January 03 for a miniscule £80 BUT don't be fooled by the price because with these speakers you get a lot for your money. Fair enough the plastic styling around the drivers may not be to every ones taste but we are on about sound for the pound, not looks right?
    These speakers perform great with Dance and Rock music sounding much better than some speakers costing £300+. With classical music they may lack the audiophile q ...

    I bought these Mission 702e speakers from richersounds for £100 back in October of last year and have been very pleased with them since. The bass reproduction is very sharp and accurate, going as deep as you like! The treble is also clear and sharp. The mid-range can be a bit lacking with certain audio sources, but nothing to complain about. Overall, these speakers are well worth the money, and work well with many amps.

    I bought these speakers at 'Richersounds' for £90, and have been pleased ever since. I started off with a pair of Mission 700's and decided that it was time for an upgrade. The speakers look and price drew me in. Excellent low end with sharp precise treble, but then you wouldn't expect anything else from mission. Don't hesitate to buy, trust me and you will be pleased.

    I use 2 pairs of 702es in my home cinema and can't fault them at all. My sub handles the bass and the very good missions do the rest. malky

    I bought my 702e in last april, and i'm still very satisfied of my purchase. I got a pair of Mission 760i for over 8 years, and they still work like new, that influenced me to buy Mission speakers again.

    After having a pair of Mission 700s for 2 years, I decided to upgrade.
    I purchased a Yamaha DSP-AX620 amplifier and a pair of Mission 702e speakers. On first hearing the speakers I was totally impressed. They sounded much better than the 700s, with the bass output being considerably higher and the treble being much more defined.
    I now have the 700s as rears, and am totally impressed when running the amp in stereo, and DD modes.
    However, as with the 700s, the speakers couldn't reach their full ...

    These front firing speakers are great if you have a versatile room, where you can position them correctly, but if you have a restricted room, then these will not sound as good. However, sound quality is better than the replacements (m73's) if you position them just right. Also you cannot expect these speakers to give a good quality of sound if you wire them up to a 30wpc amp. Give them a chance to impress with a powerful amp. Bi-wiring is definitely a massive improvement on these speakers, and ...

    The Mission 702e speakers represent excellent value for money in the budget sector.

    Despite what other reviews may say, it's quite clear that with their high sensitivity (89db/m), 702e's are perfect for fairly low powered amps. I use them with a bi-amp Technics, kicking out a measly 30w RMS per channel and I can certainly say they are huge improvement over my Celestion F3's which cost a fair bit more!
    If you're in the market for a lot of speaker for your money then Mission 700 series speaker ...

    These Mission 702e speakers are WELL made, SOUND great and LOOK the business....though if you have bundles of cash then yes, there are better floorstanders to be had.....But not at this price!!!!! (i have these coupled with a sony subwoofer which i believe helps them along in the bass department).

    Mission 702e speaker specs:
    85cm high (without spikes)
    21.5 Wide
    28cm deep

    (Measurements from my speakers)

    These speakers boast 100 watt @ 8ohms and are built to the high quality that you'd come to expect from mission.
    Perfect for Dance and Rock music, they also deliver good imagery and clarity when used with the right components. i would recommend bi-wiring and if your budget allows, bi-amping this will make your new missions really shine, whether it be Marilyn Manson or Celene Deon. ...

    These Mission 702e's are great loudspeakers but they need a good quality amplifier AND good interconnects/cables to get the sound you are looking for! I tried them first with two smaller amplifiers and was very disappointed with the terrible noise they produced. But after connecting them to my Harman Kardon 150 w amplifier, placing them higher in the room and experimenting with different cables, these speakers prove to be extremely musical...
    And notice the recent absurd price at richer : euro ...

    I got the Mission 702e speakers after looking in the richer sounds sales catalouge and the review sounded promising. After getting them home and setting them up quickly in my living room i was pleasantly suprised at the sound quality, although i did have to tighten the screws to stop the awful buzzing from the speaker. I only use these for my PC bi wired with a cambridge audio A5, in a small room. And they do still sound great. Perhaps a larger Bass driver would have added a nice edge to them... ...

    Ever since I was about 8 years old I have always wanted to own a pair of missions. Now that I have bought myself a flat I decided to buy a pair. It was either the 773's or m73's. But then I realised that the 702e's were What Hi-Fi award winners which meant that it can't be bad. Style is very important to me and I didn't like them very much but decided to take a gamble knowing that I could take them back should I change my mind. I got them for under £100 and when I got them home I must ad ...

    "From Richer sounds for £100". Sounded almost as good as the mordaunt-short 906 at £350! (But not quite). Build quality is really good. Demo'd a pair of the new m74s first, still bought the Mission 702e! They seem/sound almost as good as Kef 35/55.2 and Wharfedale diamond 8.3s (that look really old fashioned)
    Maybe they do lack this supposed audiophile clarity, but did I mention they were only £100!!
