Yet, in its illustrious history, Mission was also responsible for some equally prolific hi-fi electronics. It does nothing to dent Mission’s formidable run of form and will work brilliantly with a rather wider selection of speakers than simply the in house ones.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

The amp’s output from its gold-plated speaker terminals is conservatively rated at 45W into eight ohms and 65W into four ohms –there’s plenty of power on tap to drive any speakers the amp is likely to be partnered with to high volume levels with consummate ease. The 778X’s power amp stage is a Class AB design incorporating a low-noise 200VA toroidal transformer. With known good recording inputs, the result was a refined and smooth sound, with clarity and detail without fatigue. Also included is a high quality MM Phono stage, Analogue Inputs and a Pre Out for connecting a Subwoofer, or a power amp. The 778X shares the original’s ‘half-width’ form factor which houses a low-noise 200VA toroidal transformer, a 30,000uF power supply and a Class A/B output stage that nets 45pwc into 8 Ohms and 65wpc into 4 Ohms.Where a number of other affordable designs tap the main output to power their outputs, the Mission has a small but respectable headphone amp to run its socket. The small remote isn’t a thing of beauty but it works well enough and ensures that the 778X is easy to control from a distance. Pay in 3 is a form of credit, may not be suitable for everyone and use may affect your credit score.

From the press release: “The preamp section is kept as simple as possible to maintain signal purity, with line input signals passing to a precision, microprocessor-controlled analogue volume stage. All Peter Tyson Extended Warranties are only valid for the original purchaser and are not transferable. On a normal shelf there simply isn’t room for a DJ setup and an amplifier unless you put two Kallaxes side by side or hack two Kallaxes together as I did.The output is made to a pair of sturdy speaker terminals and there’s a pre-out too for connecting subs or a power amp.

Now, personally, I rather like it but then I like the Mission 770 and 700 with their equally oversized Mission logos and some of you have made it very clear that you think it’s garish. Like the original the Mission 778x sports a useful range of inputs, its circuitry has been entirely redesigned to meet and exceed contemporary standards, the new amp is a great sonic match for Mission’s current range, just as the 778 was in its day. As the Mission is looking to take on the Rega Io which is a strong performer with a turntable, it’s a useful fitment. Whether you’re a seasoned audiophile or just starting to explore the world of home cinema, our knowledgeable staff are on hand to help. His specialities include all things mobile, headphones and speakers that he can't justifying spending money on.The preamp section offers immersive sound with a low THD rating and a frequency response of 20Hz-20kHz, catering to diverse music genres. It’s easier to assemble a full system around the Mission than almost anything else because a smartphone with the relevant adapter is going to give you full fat Hi Res from a selection of streaming services. The 700 isn’t a hard speaker to drive and the controlled energy of the 778X does a fine job with them.
