Mission 700S refinished

The Mission 700S got a completed overhaul and I am enjoying these fine speakers. No wonder they were rated as a best buy back in the early 80's. These speakers do everything that Mission made name for themselves.

I re foamed the woofers, re capped the crossover and sanded out the scratches in the cabinets and re stained them.

The original Vifa D19 TD tweeters have been replaced with Philips AD 11410 dome tweeters which I find to be better than the original Vifa's. I always found the Vifa D19 TD tweeters to be a bit shrill and fatiguing after awhile. The Philips tweeters were glued to the original round faceplate of the Vifa tweeters.

These were great speakers back when I first bought them and they are great today. They have been playing all day and I have yet to tire of them.

  1. What size is the woofer. Same woofer as the 700 or different?

    1. The 770 uses a different woofer, the 700 and the 700S seem to used the same woofers.
