Price Paid:  $210.00 from Betta Electrical, AC

Summary:
Bought the then-new M7C2 without being able to listen to them! I was desperate to get a matching centre for my existing Mission 753s. Decided against the cheaper M7C1 because of their plastic construction. The C2 uses MDF and is almost double the cabinet volume. Had to have the tweeter replaced under warranty as it seemed to have been damaged during manufacture or handling.

Strengths:
Blends in quite nicely with my 753 mains. Nice deep bass (not using the supplied bungs). Wood finish is nicer than plastic! Sounds good on music though I don't use it for that. Biwirable, though I don't think it's worth it on a centre channel.

Weaknesses:
Grille looks cheaper than the usual good Mission level of finish.
