Don't :) I know the Mission 753s really well. They are, in some ways, a genuinely good speaker, but they are, in others, shockingly coloured. They struck a good price, got excellent reviews and sold well. They will be alarmingly different to 803s, and please don't buy 803s just because they sort out things you don't like about your 753s. That could be a really expensive mistake. Your 753 do some things really well, and you could lose what you like(d) about them by getting 803s. So my advice stays the same - find your dream system, and deal with the practicalities. With 753s you may have speakers that could work well with valves - I've never had a chance to try that, but think it could work well - so they might be easy to upgrade via that route. If you go a Tact (is it Lyngdorf or something now?) route then I suspect the 753s will be a disaster that wouldn't last a single session! And to flame highdudgeon: yes, solid-state amps may be as good as solid-state gets; if that's the standard you are willing to accept then surely the 'audiophile' forum is not quite the one for you ;) -- adamslim SB3 and Shanling CDT-100, Rotel RT-990BX, Esoteric Audio Research 859, Living Voice Auditorium IIs, Nordost cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adamslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7355 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28256 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
