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.

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.

I love my old Mission 733I speakers and was sad when the original bass/mid speakers dried out and began to crack, a common issue. So was delighted when I came across these as a replacement. As mentioned by others, these are very easy to replace, about 10 mins and then your up and running. I would also like to mention the speed of delivery, very quick and very well packaged. A massive thank you for offering a solution to keep my speakers going for many more years.
Thanks for the review Sean !

Bought a pair of these to replace the failing drivers in my 20 year old Alesis M1 Active Mk2s. They are physically a near perfect match for the cabinets and are a good match electrically for the amplifier, but sound better than the original drivers. The only slight complication is the original drivers use one 2.8mm and one 4.8mm spade terminal, so you need to change one of the connectors. These have given my old monitors (now my 'kitchen speakers') a whole new lease of life. Next step is to replace the rubber surrounds with a grille.
There is a detailed review of these drivers over on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCb-rzCSK2s
Great service from Willys. They were dispatched straight away and arrived next day, very well packed.
I recently installed the Linn Keilidh active Tweeter Upgrade Kits from Willys Hifi. It works great! It took
1 month to get here snd had to pay an additional 90 euros in taxes and customs fees but it was well worth it!
The foam grill covers of my Mission 770s crumbled into dust many years ago. Only recently was I able to find what I thought would be a suitable replacement. Everything about the process went smoothly. The foam cut easily, looks good and, to my ears , is audibly transparent.
well packed, fast delivery, simple procedure
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.
