What is a bookshelf speaker?
Bookshelf speakers are compact models designed to fit discreetly into small spaces while delivering full-range sound. These compact speakers represent the perfect compromise between acoustic performance and compact size. Unlike floorstanding speakers, they adapt to modern space constraints without sacrificing sound quality.
3 reasons to choose bookshelf speakers:
- Installation versatility: On furniture, shelf or dedicated foot
- Optimal value for money: High performance for a controlled investment
- Ease of integration: Adapt to all listening environments
Construction and design: artisanal know-how
Iconic design revisited
The Mission 750 immediately stands out with its unique aesthetic. The iconic white facade, combined with the instantly recognizable Mission logo, creates a strong visual signature that will delight connoisseurs. The entire speaker is clad in real wood veneer, available in two finishes that showcase remarkable craftsmanship:
- Satin black: Modern elegance
- Walnut : Vintage charm
Acoustic innovation: inverted geometry
The Mission 750 adopts Inverted Driver Geometry (IDG), an arrangement where the tweeter is placed below the bass/midrange driver. This configuration, pioneered by Mission, solves a major acoustic challenge: time alignment. By equalizing the distances traveled by the treble and midrange frequencies to the listener, IDG eliminates phase shifts, delivering sonic coherence unheard of for speakers of this size.
Sound architecture and internal construction
The Mission 750 sound architecture is based on proven components:
- Medium wood 135 mm(mineral-filled polypropylene):
This bass/midrange driver provides tight bass and a natural midrange. The mineralized membrane is rigid to prevent distortion at high volume.
- 28 mm tweeter with microfiber dome:
Light and soft, it reproduces precise highs without being harsh. The addition of a damped rear chamber contributes to its linearity and finesse in the high frequencies.
- Rear bass-reflex vent:
Tuned to very low frequency to cleanly extend the bass without a “tuba” effect.
- Multi-layer sandwich box(MDF/HDF) :
Inspired by the legendary Mission 700 and 770, the cabinet is made of double walls to maximize rigidity and minimize unwanted resonances. The sandwich construction and internal reinforcements ensure perfect control of the cabinet’s acoustics.
All of these choices allow the Mission 750 to faithfully reproduce music, with a deep and articulate bass, a very natural midrange, and soft and finely nuanced treble.

What is the difference between active and passive speakers?
The Mission 750s are passive, requiring an external amplifier. This configuration allows for system customization, unlike active models where amplification is built-in and often limited.
Benefits of Mission 750 passive speakers :
- Scalability: Change amplifier as needed
- Sustainability: No built-in electronics to fail
- Personalization: Free choice of amplification according to budget
- Value for money: Technology focused on acoustics
How to properly position the Mission 750s to optimize the sound?
Place the Mission 750s on stands at least 55 cm apart, spaced 1.5 to 2.5 meters apart, with an angle of 15-30° towards the listener. Optimal listening distance: 2 to 3 meters.
| Height | 55 cm (tweeter ear) | ±10 cm |
| Listening distance | 2-2.5 meters | 1,5-3 m |
| Spacing | 2 meters | 1,5-2,5 m |
| Angle (toe-in) | 20° | 15-30° |
| Distance to back wall | 50 cm | 30-80 cm |
| Distance side walls | 80 cm | 60-120 cm |
Creating a cohesive ecosystem with Mission 750 speakers
- Amplifier: Mission 778X or Rega Brio MK7
- Câbles HP : Tellurium Q BLUE
- Streamerr: Bluesound Node 2025
By combining these elements, you create a complete, scalable and coherent HiFi ecosystem, where each component enhances the musical qualities of the Mission 750 speakers and guarantees an immersive, precise and emotional listening experience.
Are the Mission 750s suitable for beginners?
Yes, the Mission 750s are perfect for beginners thanks to their ease of amplification (50W is sufficient) and their musical balance, which prevents auditory fatigue.
5 advantages for getting started in HiFi :
- Ease of amplification: 50W is sufficient for most uses
- Musical balance: Soft signature avoiding listening fatigue
- Robust construction: Durability guaranteed for years
- Timeless design: Aesthetics that transcend fashions
- Versatility: Music and home cinema with the same excellence
Why choose the Mission 750?
The Mission 750 speakers are a highly relevant choice for both demanding enthusiasts and enthusiastic newcomers. For audiophiles, their meticulous design, tonal balance, and ability to finely translate musical detail meet a quest for uncompromising sound quality. For beginners, their retro-chic design and more affordable “bookshelf” format make them an unintimidating gateway to high-fidelity, while offering expressiveness capable of bringing the music to life. In both cases, these speakers create a real need for active listening: once you hear them, you want to deepen the musical experience, power them properly, and fine-tune their placement to enjoy a more immersive soundstage.
In short, the Mission 750s significantly improve the listening experience through their naturalness, dynamics and musicality, helping to experience the sound emotion that all music lovers seek.
