DRIVE UNITS BY MANUFACTURER:
SPM-165/8
A good replacement for the 73-LF58W as found in Mission 732, 733, 733i, 734, 735 + many other models.
This 6.5 inch unit features a damped pulp cone, a powerful 80mm ferrite magnet system and a rugged steel chassis. The frequency response is smooth with good midrange control and extension. An ideal replacement unit for many speakers.

Great purchase! No issues with replacing my original, cracked 733 cones. Really happy to take a trip down memory lane & listen to music again through one of my first speaker purchases. Thanks!
Thanks for the review !

These are some for restoration (as are my 735i's that I've had another six of these Monacore mid-woofers sat for too long now...about to do both at last!) so hope they sound great?! The original Mission speakers were some kind of opaque polymer & had suffered some horrible degradation due to time & UV & were un-useable as a result.
The Monacore ones look to be a more traditional card type material cone & their weight seems very comparable to the Mission originals.
A small drawback I've noticed are the mounting holes being in a different position but have bought appropriate screws & some butyl rubber strips, just mark & drill some pilot holes in the cabinets & all should be good, can't wait to see what they sound like!
Thanks for the review James !

These are a direct fit and sound amazing in the newly fitted foam damped cabinet.
While I had the drivers out I put some time into adding foam, and it's tightened the bottom end up a little.
Really pleased with the quality replacements and definitely worthwhile to give the Missions a new lease of life.
Good quality. Good value.
Thanks for the review !

This is the second replacement speaker I have purchased from Willys Hi Fi. As before, speaker was delivered within a few days and was well wrapped. Dead easy to fit as advised. Thanks again.

Excellent customer service

Excellent advice from will as usual and exactly what I wanted. These have improved the sound of my current speakers and taken them to another level. Sounds superb I can hear tonal difference's between things that I never heard before. Superb bass drivers dig so deep.
As usual will has been outstanding.
Brilliant to deal with always helpful and gives great service.
What a brilliant capacitor, from first listen exceptional clarity and depth. Bargain will be buying more.
Swapped out the 30 yr old AlCap capacitors for the Audyn Q4 on Wills recommendation (along with a ferrofluid change). What a difference, added so much more definition and clarity. Very impressed. Audyns are a fair bit bigger size wise but fitted easily enough on the board and the access aperture on the TDL Studio 1's.
Good quality, fast postage, perfect! Thanks
Can fault the service and you always seem to have what others don’t, this can be critical when your hobby involves restoring vintage hifi .
