The Mission 700 bookshelf speakers have been designed with a modern interpretation of the iconic and revered original model. The brand has utilized 45 years of evolution and development in loudspeaker design to create a product that delivers excellent sound quality and durability.

The original Mission 700 was a part of the same range as the 770, which was launched in 1978. The 700 was a smaller version, launched a couple of years later. Both speakers were innovative, cutting-edge designs that helped establish the brand as a major force in the market.

The Mission 700's cabinet measures 51 x 26 x 27cm (hwd), which is relatively large by modern standards. Their size offers these speakers useful engineering advantages over the generally smaller modern competition. A larger cabinet promises more extended bass, particularly as the wide front baffle allows for the use of a bigger mid/bass unit than would normally be found at this level. The wide-ranging dynamics of a larger driver can also produce the potential for higher replay levels. This is one of those cases where looking backward really does offer some significant gains over modern slim and small designs.

The appearance of the Mission 700 harks back to the past with its striking aesthetic resemblance to the original. The white polypropylene mid/bass unit and the front-firing reflex port are significantly larger with more flare. Yet, the position of the drive units (and port) is the same, as is the use of Mission's distinctive but rather unsubtle original logo on a white front baffle. Place the two generations side by side, and the resemblance is unmistakable.

The Mission 700's drive units are modern, with a 16.5cm mineral-loaded polypropylene mid/bass and 28mm microfibre soft dome tweeter. The engineers have designed these units with great care to reduce distortions and improve dynamic performance. They even have separate circuit boards for the treble and mid/bass crossover networks that prioritize simple, short signal paths and high-quality components to increase transparency and reduce distortions.

The Mission 700's wood-veneered cabinet is as impressive as the drive units. It replaces the original's rather basic box with a braced, composite structure that combines high-density MDF with particle board (bonded with high-damping glue) to provide a rigid and low-resonance platform for the drive units to work from. The single-wire speaker terminals look smart, chunky, and nice to use.

The performance of stand-mounters is heavily dependent on their support, so it makes perfect sense for Mission to make dedicated stands for the new 700. It's a nicely-made steel frame structure that bolts together in around 15 mins and lifts the speakers to the right kind of height.

The Mission 700 speakers aren't particularly fussy about positioning either. They sound best just short of a meter from the rear wall and well clear of the sides. They certainly benefit from being angled in towards the listening position, which improves the focus and solidity of the stereo imaging.

The Mission 700's strengths come to the fore with the impressive big and authoritative sound, making use of that larger-than-average stature to deliver the lows with conviction. The bass notes are taut and agile too, rendered with a pleasing amount of texture, and nicely blended so no part of the frequency range sticks out. These Missions have an upfront, open presentation with plenty of punch. Large-scale dynamic shifts are communicated forcefully, and the 700 have no trouble playing at high levels. Despite having a tweeter with bite, there's enough refinement to cope with less-than-perfect recordings, though a bit of care with system matching wouldn't go amiss.

The sensitivity of 86dB/W/m means that these speakers are not particularly fussy about partnering equipment, as it's as likely to be partnered with a premium lifestyle all-in-one system. A claimed 8-ohm nominal impedance (with a minimum of 5.2 ohms) indicates that these aren't a particularly tricky load for most amps.

In conclusion, the Mission 700 bookshelf speakers are a great investment for anyone who wants to enjoy high-quality audio without breaking the bank. The speakers are a modern interpretation of the iconic and revered original model, boasting complex innovations and improvements for today's market. The combination of a larger cabinet, modern drive units, and a nicely made wood veneered cabinet provides an impressively big, and authoritative sound. The Mission 700 offers excellent sound quality and great value for money, making it an excellent addition to any home audio setup.

The softest, prettiest pink ever. So finely constructed in every detail.
Size: One Size, Color: Crinkle Morning Beach
I recently ordered this Kate Spade Large Leather Shoulder Bag in the Crinkle Morning Beach color, which is a very soft, mellow, light pink. Think puffy clouds dusted with the pink highlights at sunset kind of light pink. I think it’s absolutely gorgeous! I love the smooth, simple lines of this bag and the “rocking chair” curved bottom panel. The bottom panel allows this purse to stand upright, making it easy to see into it and access the contents. It has a simple thin shoulder strap tied into a perky loop detail at the side with a little tail. Nothing fussy. Just pure simplicity and class with a flirty little flair. As mentioned in the description, this is a large bag, 14” wide, perfect for travel or if you have more to carry on that day. It’s quite roomy inside. The zipper opens up along the entire top of the bag, making it easy to see into it and take things in and out of it. There’s an open pocket against one side and a zippered pocket against the other to keep things neatly organized and easy to find. The construction of this bag is perfect in every detail. The leather is just exquisite. So smooth to the touch. Even the light-colored inner lining is cool and smooth. Every surface has neat topstitching in perfect, small stitches in a matching pink thread color. It has a quality zipper that zips smoothly and has a small leather pull. It seems everything about this shoulder bag provides a delightful experience in its use.

A beautiful, soft, finely finished and costly bag
Size: One Size, Color: Crinkle Morning Beach, Size: One Size, Color: Crinkle Morning Beach
I defer to Mrs. Engineer in everything related to purses. I’ve included her comments below. UNPACKING The bag arrives surrounded by a thin foam pad inside a plastic bag. An unremarkable polyester storage bag (shown in a photo) is included. It comes folded in the same package as the bag. IMPRESSIONS The first impression the bag makes is that it's simple and beautiful and that the leather feels wonderful. The interior has one open pouch and one with a zipper (see photos). That’s sufficient for Mrs. Engineer but some people may want more subdivisions of the interior. The bag has top stitching everywhere. As shown in photos, there is impeccable top stitching throughout the interior and on the bottom. The interior is light colored, a feature always desirable in a bag for ease of finding things. The wide, flat (from front to back) bottom allows the bag to sit upright unless it’s loaded in an extremely unbalanced way. Because of the fineness of the leather, most people wouldn’t want to put it down on any flooring unless it was carpeted. The handle is comfortable and is suitable for both handheld and over-the-shoulder carrying. The strap length can be adjusted to fit the user. PRICE It’s difficult to comment on the price and whether it’s a good value. Certainly all the functions of this bag, including looking elegant, can be accomplished with a bag costing a quarter as much. Whether the quality of the leather, the fineness of the finishing and the cachet of the Kate Spade brand is worth the cost of the bag depends on the eye, and the resources, of the beholder. We received this bag at no cost through the Amazon Vine program in return for an unbiased review. For us, personally, it would not be worth its price at the time of this review, but the popularity of the brand proves that many others feel differently about it. CONCLUSIONS This is a beautiful and finely finished bag that we are happy to have, and there’s nothing negative to say about it. I’ve given it five stars.
