A very good speaker from Mission. Don't waste your money on bi-wiring, spent it on a high quality cables. I've use it in bi-wiring mode for months, but only a couple of days ago, just for the fun of it, I tried to double run the speaker cable(Kimber 4TC). And guess what?... Every thing have more precision in it. Just for you info., a double run of Kimber 4TC is also the same as the 8TC.!Actually I am in the middle of searching for another pair speakers to replace |

After initially bi-wiring these 752freedoms to an audiolab 8000A I was impressed with the bass (partly due to the 8000A) and detail retrieval.I have since bi-amped them with the 8000s & 8000p and discovered a whole new speaker! The sound stage kicked out 2 feet , bass tightened up and was now fantastically well defined , treble imaging and detail retrieval are now at a stage where anymore would tip the balance into treble overload, and the sound on the whole just seems so right and fatigue free I can't imagine anything better.These are by far the cheapest component in my system and I can't imagine a replacement anywhere near 2x/3x the price . |

this is a reply for mr. shahed karim. if you go to the mission homepage, the company designed this wonderful pair of speakers for audiophile applications - never for cinema system. |

This is the great speaker. I have also heard Tannoy Ms, B&W DMs, and KEF Qs.Misson 752f is the best one among above speakers(These speakers are all very good speakers and have very good reviews.) I like crystal clear treble and fast tight bass. This Mission is the one that makes it best. |

I had recently went down to a hifi shop here to listen to the 752f afterreading lots of good comments from magazine about it. I was pretty impressed with the sound it produced. The salesman then showed me a pair of showroom set KEF 103/4 speaker which he then demo to me. Guess what, I was totally taken away the minute he play the track on the KEF. The sound is simply magnificant and there's no way that the Mission 752f is close to it. I finally brought the showroom(used) set at the price of a new 752F. There is no doubt that in term of design the mission looks better but wrt sound, the kef 103/4 remains unchallenged. If the 752f can get 5 stars then i would give the KEF 9 stars. |

I am an audiophile on a showstring budget so when Audio Advisor offered me a pair of Mission 752s at $500 I jumped at the chance. These are a beautiful speaker with best results coming from a bi-wired situation or better still bi-amped. I use them driven by an Audiolab 8000s and a double run of synergistic reserach alpha sterling cable and have been in heaven. Their clarity is breathtaking with respectable deep taut bass and rich soundstage. I find it best to angle mission speakers at about 15 degrees as they generally place the tweeter lower than the woofer and this improves imaging. These are great speakers for everything from classical to dance and work very well with the matching 753 centre for a wonderful Dolby Digital set up. At $500 these deserve 6 or 7 stars. |

As a salesman at a high end audio store I was able to reference many speakers to many others across a wide range of listening environments (including equipment). I ended up buying a pair of 753F4 and 752F4, with the intention of choosing one, in time, and selling the other (I get very good deals on equipment). I wanted to keep the 753 due to all the amazing reviews and their fantastic, powerful, good looks....but they sounded midbass thumpy and slightly muddled in the mid range( 500 - 1000 Hz). The 752 although slightly lighter was quick, clear, very natural and warm....without going into great detail it just moved me in a way the 753F4 did not. I have it biamped with cyrus straightline and a cyrus power....a stunning combination! I highly recommend this speaker. |

I have owned a pair of the Mission 752F's for about two years and every time I sit down in front of them, I become more and more amazed at how free, quick and open they sound. Like every amatuear audiophile out there, I have couple of reference tracks that I demo their clarity with (Nuyorican Soul/It's Alright I feel it, Cypress Hill/Real Estate, Paul Weller/Broken Stones) and each time I play the tracks they sound better. The bass is so taught and fast, yet at the same time deep, clear and subtle enough to let you here distinct underlying riffs within a track. In my mind however, the top end is the speakers crowning glory. With what sounds like God's very own voice coil 'embedded' in the solid chasis, everything that passes through the silk dome is a joy to hear. Musicians breathe, strings are plucked and keys are struck. When you can hear this kind of detail in entry level audiophile speakers, you know that you've made a great investment. |

I've heard the 752 but not the new Freedom models. I couldn't see the point in them, as the 780SE (standmounts) sounded pretty much the same -no bass to speak of. Bought the 753 instead. |
