Mission 776/777 combo

摘要

While first established and based in the UK, Mission also now has a design facility and manufacturing plant in Canada. It's here that its latest amplifiers were developed by Henry Azima, the brother of Farad Azima who founded Mission Electronics some years ago. In view of the design and engineering content of the 776/ 777, they are fairly competitively priced at around £900 the pair, though to succeed in that market their performance will need to be excellent. Arguably the most distinctive feature of the amps is the heavy 'macho' look of the massive front panel casting. This is founded on the Mission logo itself, with the central letters extended inwards in the form of a thick barred heatsink, ending in a block section. This casting is used for both power and preamps, although in the latter it serves no useful purpose and, in fact, severely restricts the potential number of control facilities. On the other hand -it does serve to complement the power unit visually.
