    Advice needed : which speakers to pair with Kenwood KA 60

    Hello everyone, I’m definitely not an expert compared with most people here, so I’d really appreciate some advice. Over the years I’ve inherited various pieces of hi-fi equipment from people close to me. It might not be the greatest equipment in the world, but I’ve always taken good care of it...

    Mission 700 LE Speakers - Rebuild/upgrade

    So my faithful Mission 700 Leading Edge speakers have a bit of foam rot going on, time to refoam. While I'm in there I thought why not upgrade/refresh the factory crossovers a bit. The crossover is very simple ; a 670uH ferrite core inductor in series with the woofer, and a second order filter...

    Mission 707 crossover rebuild.

    This is my first post, I'm fairly new to the hobby and am wanting to rebuild a set of mission 707 speakers. Picked them up for $10, they need foam on both woofers and I'd like to rebuild the crossovers. Figured this would be a good speaker to start with. Where do I start?

    Mission 70 vs Mission 70 MKII

    Can anyone tell me the difference between the Mission 70s and 70 MKII? I have an opportunity to purchase a pair of the 70s. But I’m noticing some are stamped with MKII on the back, but otherwise they look identical. Please help! Thank you!!!!

    Mission argonauts tweeter replacement

    I bought a pair of beat up mission argonauts and one of the tweeters ended up being blown/shorted. I want to find a replacement that is most cost effective as i have a limited budget and already have enough speakers so if it gets too expensive, i’ll get rid of them one way or another. Any help...

    Speaker Decision....

    In need of advice... I’m currently looking at two sets of speakers...and while I’m less concerned about the pricetags (both are a decent enough deal, I believe)...the question is more about what direction to take...in terms of quality, sound, reputation, etc....

    Mission 700 - Mark II

    I'm a newbie on this forum. I've read a couple of threads discussing the Mission 700 Mk II speakers - but those threads were from quite a while back. And they were rather tech heavy. I know these were designed as a bookshelf speaker. Mid-1980s - which is when I bought them. I was using them...

    Motor hum? Electromagnetic Interference ? Ground issue?

    I'm at a total loss. I have two identical turntables (Mission 775s) with Shure cartridges. They use slightly different grounding schemes and BOTH have the same issue: when the cart reaches the centre of the record there is a low, but audible hum. These tables sound fantastic and solving this...

    Mission 763i... NOW I understand "sound stage"

    I just had an eureka moment. Picked up another bargain - a pair of Mission 763i speakers in good shape. I disconnected a pair of Paradigm 5se Mk3 and wired up the Missions. It became very apparent that the latter presents the audio in an almost 3 dimensional way. From drum solos to symphony to...

    To repair or not, a small rip in a mid

    hi all, I got a set of Mission 767s a few weeks ago and while the LFAU amp (google it) is being repaired I noticed one of the mids has a small tear. Because of the rubberized nature of the mid I am tempted to just seal it with adhesive, as this is a legacy part and will probably cost $100+ to...
