Bass for all

Less of clarity at high site.

Well positioned when playing Jazz, very good sound for this price.

This speaker is one of the best i ever bought .

Realy ther is none in my ear. But the people that are into audio. There is allways something more you want..

I went to the local audio store . I listened to a few pairs.
The Mission realy stood out. When i got them home i put to the NAD 2200 Amp . WoW I realy got a great sound. As they broke in . It even got better. So went out and bought a nother 2200 . And a 12" Sub and a older pair of polks
(rta 11T) you want bass here it is. I tell my girl when
she comes out of the shower this system will dry her off!If you can find them check a pair out. Great for Hard Rock/
Great for Meavy Metal......

deep and powerfull bass, nice and clear midrange

hard to get

What can I say. You can not get more from one speaker, for this price. I got them for 300 DEM cheaper, because they didn't have protective pannels. But hey, who does the yob;
speakers or protective pannel?
At first, I was thinking of adding subwoofer to my sistem, but it's yust a waste of money, because this speakers do the yob perfectly. Altough, I like an extra strong bass in my room, they can handle it yust fine.
Midrange does the perfect yob, also high frequency speaker. Altough I'm no audiophile, I garantie you, that you too will hear that the sound is getting better and better every day.
I have Yamaha RX 496 reciever, and I was a little worried if it would handle this speakers. But it soon turned out, that it was no problem, I think especeally because this speakers have 8 ohm impedance.

I was lucky enough to get the 704's for about 320ea. When purchasing these 3-way, 250w towers I compared them to some similarly priced ($700-900) models(Infinity, DCM, NHT, Acoustic Research, MB Quartz, others) The Missions, being British, are a little bright in the top end, not at all harsh however, but their most noticable feature is the extended bass reponse. Wow, these things boom. In the showroom I could see that you most likely needed sub-woofers with most of the brands,even for music(except DCM, but the MB Quartz bass reponse was pathetic, not only that, the whole sound spectrum was boo) The mid-range and tweeter on the Infinity's were impressive, brighter than the 704's,though you would need a sub-woofer. The Infinity's in direct contrast to the Missions had a fuller more dynamic mid-range, but are too bright on top for my taste. The Missions had fuller sound as a whole. Listening to the Missions on their own you would hardly realize the mid-range loss, and The full spectrum is beautiful. One must take care however to adjust their bass level accordingly; the extended bass response can be innaccurate at high bass levels. Adjusted correctly the bass isn't booming, is almost always accurate, and sounds great. They're also a great home theater choice. If I had to do it all over again I would have done more homework, and listened to way more speakers, just to be sure, but for now I am very happy with the 704's.

Warm bass,great kick drum reproduction,handles metal/rock music AND plays jazz!!

Sound harsh with poor recordings.Needs warm amplificationeg:NAD,Arcam etc..

Great speaker for the price,my friend spent $$$'s more on fancy Mirage gear which dosent sound a whole lot betterIMHO.
Cool if you like rock and metal, cause a lot of speakers out there dont cater for this style.

Bass, Detailed deep bass, Thats all.

Lifeless tweeter, soft muddy midrange, hallow boxy sound, port hole noise on serious bass notes at high volume.

This is not a bad speaker, it has some good sides like the bass! This would be great for Techno.

But I find this to be disappointing. The Tweeter and Mid's are
there but Seriously layed back, and it seems like the Midrange Acts more like a Midbass/Bass driver I get no powerful midrange punch, and when I turn it up to I can hear it more fully the tweeter becomes harsh!

Mission 77/78 Series, B&W, AR, Paradigm and Tanoy are much better sounding speakers.

The best speakers I can get. Great Price.

Bass, power handling, imaging

These babies have no weaknesses

2 days ago I have swapped my sub for a pair of Mission 704's and I am very glad I did. I never need that sub again. Off cours they cant get as low as say an 16 Hz. 12 inch sub, but the 35 Hz. bass is very tight even at very high volumes, and because you have in each speaker one 8 inch bass woofer the bass is much better spread into the room. When having a sub there are always a few hot spots as I know from earlier experiences and that can be very annoying. There is also a lot more then bass. The midrange is superb, very clear and the same I can say about the highs. This a perfect speaker for DANCE and TRANCE music.
Believe me, in this price range there are no better speakers !!!! My amp can't really handle these babies to their maximum performance. These beast can have 250 Watts each. My amp can deliver 2 x 80 Watt continuous, but before reaching his limit he is overpowered, but at that moment the loudspeakers are playing really loud and they don't give a shrink. The louder the better. The louder they go, the better they sound, nice !!! These speakers are becoming an instant legend, buy a pair and you won't regret, trust me !!!!
