Summary: Absolutely wonderful! Fast, dynamic, precise - faboulous soundstage, great bass. Slightly on the dark side, in a good way. Great bass - can easily fill my living-room (35 m2) at normal listening levels. I use it with a Naim Nait XS, rather powerful little thing, but the 751 also perfroms with my smaller bedroom amp. Paid appr. 180 USD and it feels like the speaker bargain of my life :-)).

Summary: Great little speakers and I do mean great. It's 2010 and people here are still reviewing what must be one of Mission's greatest speakers; rightly so, they're fabulous. Still plenty out there on the second hand market.
So what they like? Hooked up to a half decent amp, try a Cyrus or an Audiolab these speakers shine. Clarity, detail and just a touch of warmth to bring it all together. Excellent bass for their size, I have a sub in my system but I don't need it for the Missions. I have been through quite a few speakers in the last twenty odd years but I won't be parting with these. It's hard to choose between the originals and the Freedom version, I'd recomend either.

Summary: I just bought a pair Mission 751 Freedom speakers here in Doha. It was an unsold items from the previous dealer here in Qatar old stock but brand new still in a box. I saw it in their clearance sale. I sold my B&W VM1 and bought this. No regrets at all. Great sound. Actually better sounding than my Polk's RTi4. Clarity is superb. It's a legend.

Summary: I have always admired the Mission 751 speakers. I listened to them in the mid 90'ies and loved them. I went for bigger speakers back then, which where a better choice for me at the time.
I have resent moved into a small apartment, and needed something smaller. I browsed the used marked and found the 751 and I knew I had to listen to them once more. I went home to the guy that was selling them and listen to them on his high-end setup, where they performed excellent. So I got the pair for about 200$ and went home.
I have tried them out at home and they fit very well into the apartment. The sound is still amazing, as they where for 15 years ago! New products come, new materials are used, and they come out all expensive! The last years, design has become very important to the vendors, but not to me, and the sound and value you get from the 751 are making them a best buy even today!
As of all speakers in this size, the bass is not as powerful and deep as you get from a bigger speaker, but you dont need to be a rocket scientist to figure that out!
I guess I always will keep the 751 for all future reference in my setup. Other speakers may come and go, but these will stay in my possession for ever! (easy to store also! So small)
