    Audiolab 7000a or Cambridge CXA81 MKII

    Yes agreed. I guess there’s people who are looking for the truest and cleanest representation of the original recording.. and then people who just want something that sounds good to their ears. I’m in the later group. The problem with that is it’s all subjective. So whilst I can definitely...

    Audiolab 7000a or Cambridge CXA81 MKII

    Agreed. I’ve never heard anyone say the 7 series of the 90’s were bad speakers. The 753’s were renowned for their build quality.

    Audiolab 7000a or Cambridge CXA81 MKII

    So I’ve recently been on the hunt for the perfect amp for my ears! I’m running the amp with a pair of Mission 753’s (which I won’t part with).

    Question Mission 753 Amp Suggestions

    New member here. I was recently gifted a mint set of Mission 753’s, with boxes, spikes etc. I loved audio separates back in the late 90’s as a teenager so wanted to use this opportunity to create a respectable budget set up. I read that the Pioneer A400 was a good companion for these speakers...
