DRIVE UNITS BY MANUFACTURER:
753 XOR
NOW SUPPLIED WITH AN EASY CONNECTION COLOUR CODED LOOM.
PRICED PER PAIR.
The Mission 753 crossover features general purpose polarised electrolytic capacitors wired back to back (in series) as a cost and size cutting exercise.
Featuring point to point wiring and a wealth of hot melt adhesive, the crossover build quality is typical of the era - it is quite tricky to work on for beginners as it is in the form of a split section PCB sandwich connected by brass bus bars.
Our upgrade includes various changes and modifications that take these speakers to a new level of performance - please see the reviews.

Have kept my old 753’s originally purchased in the 90’s. After getting my Naim amps serviced it occurred to me my speakers probably needed some attention too. Found Willys Hifi and decided to have the tweeters replaced and crossovers upgraded. Really pleased with the outcome, speakers have new life, sound great! I was especially pleased with the service, Will was really knowledgeable and very helpful. Definitely recommended if you are considering the same.
Thanks for the review Neil !

Hi, I purchased my pair of 753's in 1998 27 years ago and I have only had these speakers in all that time so no reference to any others for comparisons, it started to occur to me they must have degraded so Willys Hifi to the rescue!
I replaced both the crossover's and Tweeters, well surprise as I can hear parts of LP's I had not heard for a long while! Excellent results and service from Willys Hifi! Recommended for all 753 owners
Thanks for the review Ian !

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.
Thanks for the great review Lamaat - enjoy the 753's !

I’ve been building my own home cinema as a complete DIY project and reached the stage where I needed some decent acoustic foam for my speaker panels (also DIY!) so I picked up 3 large sheets from here. They were sent quickly, packed well and moreover, are of excellent quality. With them being folded into the shipping box they were slightly creased but after leaving them out overnight on a flat surface, the creases fell out completely. They’re now in place and doing their job brilliantly. Cheers Willys Hifi!
The crossover was constructed well, I just need to figure out the best way to attach it to my Kef Concertos as they are bigger than the ones supplied by Kef that are mounted on the front of the baffle board.
Very nice deep bass look amazing with my custom made speaker
Great speedy delivery and very easy to fit. The plastic in my drivers had perished and they had suffered one too many parties! No need to make any adjustments (someone above did suggest that). I just screwed them in and the foam compressed into place. Before and after below (before I changed speaker number 2). Thank you!
Thanks you very much for the kit. I found back my kelidh after nearly 27 years. The filter were really dead and one tweeter damaged. Very happy to decide to repair/ upgrade rather than change. I found back tone and stereo stage like in the old days probably even better.
I didn't know soldering material was so important thanks for providing some.
Quite easy to recap filter and change tweeters.
Also wanted to thank you for this little note hand writen in French just for me. Very nice attention to see.
Next step is the next question do I change first the drivers with the monacor as I ve lost dust caps but they still work properly or do I change my old arcam alpha 8. Is there really something to gain moving to an newer arcam sa10 or Radia a5? Are newer amplifier much better than the old days one?
