You are right that Mission spent most of the 1980s and 1990s producing 2-way designs, but there are later 3-ways.<br />- most 1970s and 1980s Mission bass drivers had soft foam edge suspension on the mid-bass drivers. It perishes over time. Its very rare now to find any of the Mission speakers from before the original 770 with their original mid-bass drivers, although they can be repaired with a suitable kit, lots of patience and a steady hand.Neil Hallworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01191032743060224753noreply@blogger.com
