Mission 753 Crossover Rebuild

It was a nice experience to send the old filters to the UK (from the Netherlands) and get them surprisingly fast back (taking the overseas shipment into account). At first I did it wrong since I also replaced the drivers that could also be connected in a 4/6 Ohm (double coil). But after correcting and calibrating my receiver the speakers sounded great.

Thanks!

Wasn't sure what to expect with the process of sending iny old units and waiting for them to be rebuilt. The actual turn around time was quicker than expected. The quality of the work was evident as soon as I opened up the box on the newly rebuilt crossovers. Once I installed them I can say I was pleased with the sound. There seem to be more dynamics with clearer top end, tighter mid range, and little more bottom end as well. Glad I went thru this process and would highly recommend to anyone considering!

Finally got my electricity back today after the storm on Friday. Initially I was a bit apprehensive, as I had no experience in electronics. As I followed the colour coded looms, it got easier and more straightforward. Guess what! My Mission 753s sound better than they ever did in 1998 when I bought them brand new. New crossovers also brought one of my tweeters back to life (was dead for ten years) What a quality upgrade, worth every single penny. Willy and Caroline, you guys are legends.

So I did the tweeters a few months back, and they were a revelation. I debated the crossover upgrade a while- but I decided 'in for a penny' and went for it.
Wow!
I fully agree with the other reviewers here, they pretty much nail it.
The units are very well put together, and ooze quality.
Overall tonal balance is improved, clarity and soundstage (particularly in the mid/upper-mid) is significantly improved, and the 'air' added by the new tweeters is given another boost. But the biggest thing is the bass- there's more of it, it goes deeper, and is superbly tight and controlled.
Dropped my standard test-track (Groove Armada's Suntoucher) and it left me grinning like a small child who's just left his mam a present in his nappy.
So if you're in two minds, I say go for it. I paid a ton for the 753s on Facebook, £400-ish for the tweeters and crossovers- and I don't reckon you could beat them for less than 1500 quid now. The improvement is more than I expected, and I'm now pulling out CDs I haven't listened to in years.
Worth every penny.

I'll sign off with a mention of the superb, personal service from WIll & Caroline. It's not often these day you feel truly valued as a customer, so thank you!!

The newly rebuilt crossovers look fantastic and the wiring was easy to reconnect due to the colour coding. After reconnection I tried everytype of music from Bach, Faithless, Pink Floyd and the Dub Pistols. The sound was brilliant, it seemed to be less muffled. The sound seemed to be crisper and was clear in the mid range and the bass was punchy and clear, giving the sound a more distinctive punch. Overall the upgrade was worth every penny. Can recommend this upgrade to anyone with 753's, it does improve them hand over fist.
