In this video Kevin waxes rhapsodic about the new Mission 700 bookshelf speaker, a dramatic evolution to the engineering of the original Mission sound while offering a taste of nostalgia through a retro design, harkening back to another time. Also, watch until the end when Kevin talks about a certain rockstar and gives you a chance to win a T-shirt.
Link to Kevin's video on the Mission 770, mentioned in the video: • Mission 770 Bookshelf ...
Who doesn't love CH? Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, from the great state of Ohio! CH rocks hard!!
My first speaker was Mission 761 bookshelf bought in 1988 for $299 CAD with all the money I earned pumping gas at $4/hr ⛽️
They brought great enjoyment and pride of ownership amongst my peers (made in England unlike these new Missions).
Dear Kevin, great your video. Last weekend i listened the Mission 700 with my valve amplifier Leben cs300xs. Very surprised with the great sound obtained with the selector in 4 ohms, despite these speakers are 8 ohms. I had a primaluna prologue classic and as you said and also the operation manual, choose the impedance with the sound that likes more to your ears, same you said at the end of this review.With the primaluna the best sound for me was obtained matching the same otput impedance with speakers.
With the leben It is impressive the sound difference in 4 ohms, great voices, controlled good bass, what a difference!
The question is: changing the impedance selector, am I changing the frequencie response or altering the mastering of music ?
Furthermore, there are many articles in the web saying that if i change the selector to other impedance this could damage the amplifier....
Also there are articles thay says that earing with headphones and no speakers connected there is a risk for the amplifier.....
Best regards !!
That first Pretenders album was quite possibly THEE best debut album by a rock band ever. If Chrissie Hynde had never done anything beyond that, she and The Pretenders would still be - how shall I say? Well, to put it in Kat's language, "A %$#*ing great band!"
I liked Chrissie Hynde and The Pretenders. What made her even more special is that she was married (for a few years) to the lead singer of one of my favorite bands (Jim Kerr of Simple Minds).
I enjoy listening to Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders and thank you Kevin for the Mission 700 Speaker review ! All the best to you and yours.
I love Crissie Hynde & The Pretenders! And fun fact - I went to Kent State (where she also went, but at a different time). I had a summer job at a restaurant called the Pufferbelly and, so the lore goes, Chrissie had also worked there once. Timing...is...everything!!!
Christie Hynde - Love her voice! Very distinct and timeless.
I do love Chrissy Hyde though. My favorite song of hers is actually “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas”
More Kevin! He is an icon and irreplaceable!!!
I've seen her play live numerous times, love the band a lot. Still think "Kid" is my favorite
Chrissie Hynde is awesome! She has a nice punk edge to her voice that is unique and it grabs you!
Yep she’s great. Really enjoyed her auto biography. I saw her with Elvis Costello early 80’s in the Cal Poly gym. Really bad sound in there. I’ve still got a pr. of Mission 753 rosewood 1st generation. I’d love to find a home for them, haha.
Chrissie Hynde unique style opened the door for many female artists in a male dominated genre. Great guitar player.
Moodswings featuring Chrissie Hynde--Spiritual High. There is like 3 different versions on the Album
Yea, you got me. Had not heard her without the Pretenders.
Hi Kevin, I was in your store today 1h and 15 min before closing time and I wanted to listen to a Pathos amp(any). I was told that they wont be able to accommodate me because the amp is too heavy and they don't have enough time to set it up. Then I asked if I can listen to a Pathos amp with headphones. That was not an option either. Please talk to your sales people. I don't think they are interested in selling anything. I have no way of contacting you. That is why I am writing here. Thanks.
Hey @Nikolay Dudumov - I spoke to Ken who was the manager on duty as well as Joel who was helping you. As you know Joel is very gracious and bends over backward if he can. We take a lot of time to do a setup, and both sound rooms were booked and prepared for Saturday morning when we have a skeleton crew of two people. To undo that and change it would take 30 minutes, then the amp takes 15 minutes to warm up. We are happy to play a system for you on the fly if you stop in without an appointment, but can't promise to change a system out.
The Pathos headphone amp wasn't there because it was packed and shipped to Can Jam in New York. It's much better to take time with Joel or any other salesperson you speak to and narrow down what is right FOR YOU. There should be minimum 30 minute talk about what you want to have happen, the room, the rest of the system, and your tastes.
I like Krissy Hinds, totally real voice and never holds back😄!
Chrissie and The Pretenders are IN my music collection. ‘Nuff said. Just replaced a Pretenders CD two days ago (cue Twilight Zone theme)
Chrissie Hynde .... * I'll stand by you * and with Upscale Audio..
Chrissie Hynde, not my thing….. don’t get me wrong! LOL
Yes!!! She is great live also!
Chrissie Hynde is awesome! ty Kevin. love the speakers and detailed review.
Hey @guccisasha thanks! You win assuming you are in the USA. Can you reach out to us at info@upscaleaudio.com please? Take your pick from a PrimaLuna, Tannoy, or Upscale Audio shirt. FYI I picked you because our dog's name is Sasha! Thanks - Kevin Deal
@@upscaleaudio Mission? Made in China now like most other companies. No thanks. Good channel.
She is the best!
I like Ms. Hines but not my go to sound. What I really like are the Mission 770's but haven't hears the 700's yet. If they are 80% of the 770's I would probable li,e them as I have a smaller listening room ( 13 by 10 ) and these would probably be better fo that room.
Her debut album was outstanding, but it was very much due to the drummer who was outstanding. He passed away I believe after that album, they never been the same
Yes, love her.
I went back to Ohio also... she is a real one..an original like blonde 👱♀️✨️😍
Had a pair of concrete 'avances' once - i thought they were pretty punchy... the cab was molded to a curved shape and maybe this gave it an ... err.... 'edge'
Two thumbs up for Chrissie 👍
She has a terrific catalog of songs. Her voice is unique and very dramatic (but in an understated lind of way). She is one of my favorite sounding ROCK singers. Great tunes for remonitioning of the old days.
@MichaelPickett I agree...She is unique!
You have horrible taste in music but I'm sure you know that!😊
@@stevomcsteve9492 And you know this HOW!??🤪
They look great
Alanis Morrisette was responsible for the death of 102.7 WNEW in New York, maybe the greatest rock and roll radio station ever. The suits decided they wanted to attract for female listeners, and she was their lead artist. In the book Up All Night, evening DJ Carol Miller Said she wondered why they were playing an artist who hated men, when the core audience was 17-35 year old males.
Peter Como for president!
Chrissie sings Creep even better than Radiohead !
Christie is great
I’m not a fan of Alanis either
There is a reason these speakers are on sale. They are not a good value. The Zu DWX would blow these away at only $1400. Not to mention it's furniture grade cabinet, 95 db sensitivity, and handcrafted in the USA!!!
Crissie is Great but not as good as Kevin....
Originals are still way better
I like Chrissies voice but not my favorite female artist by a mile.
Not my fav
What a pretender
Oh man "Use a pun, go to jail" Ha! Good one!
