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.

4 units bought to upgrade my old cracked Mission 734 speakers.
Arrived a few days later well packaged individually and collectively.
Easily replaced, nice fit, straightforward.
Can crank up to 11 again, if my Daughter allows :-)
Thanks.

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 !

Very happy with this replacement part, especially once id fitted it correctly!! Sounds great so know where to go when the other one fails. 👍

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 !

Replaced faulty Studio 0.5 drivers with these. Had a wobble about the fit so called to confirm details and had superb advice. Recommend both the drivers and Willy's!
I've been repairing a set of vintage speakers (Rogers JR149's) and honestly, I wouldn't have been able to do it without components and parts from Willy's Hi-fi! Thanks for the help and advice as well!
Quick shipping and high quality cloth. Very easy to work with and sticks well with contact adhesive. Very pleased with the final look!
Thanks to Will for advising on a replacement for these classic Arcam speakers from the early 90s. Good value and quick shipping. This was a small restoration project on this sealed box design - these now sound punchy, crisp and clear and really fill the room. Tweeters seem to still be breaking in as the detail and imaging just keeps getting better! Looking forward to coming back for parts for the next project!
I needed to renew the foam fabric around my JR149 loudspeakers. Age and UV light had caused them to start disintegrating - not helped when one of our cats decided to assist with her own paws!!
Googled and up came Willy's details. I confirmed that I needed two of the "large" sheets and paid by Paypal. Order promptly dispatched and JR149s cosmetically restored!
