The pre/power amps are currently driving a pair of original Mission

which together sound staggeringly good.

This prompts me to see if I can find data on the impedance of the 752s
as
that may be relevant here.

They are known to be efficient - 91dB, nominally 8 ohms on paper. I don't
have data beyond that, but they were well-reviewed in their day (mid
90s),
so I'm sure there's plenty of into out there. IIRC HiFi World listed them
as
"valve-amp friendly" for their efficiency.

IMNVHO, the best speaker they made since the original Chartwell-driver
batch of 770s.

I haven't heard every speaker that they have ever released, but have heard
most from the last 10 years and many from the years before.
They are - to my ears - the best speakers Mission have made to date.

The original 770 was *very* special, and made the company's
reputation. Interestingly, after Chartwell went bust, Mission never
did get that same sound back into the 770, despite several
incarnations with different drivers, crossovers and cabinets.
