Description
Description
The Mission 778X boasts a blend of vintage charm and modern audio prowess, producing a robust 65W of sound in a compact, retro-inspired package. It caters to both vinyl enthusiasts and digital music streamers with its Bluetooth, RCA line, coaxial, and digital inputs. The integrated phono stage is expertly designed for MM cartridges, delivering precise sound without the need for an external pre-amp.
Paired perfectly with the 778X amplifier, the compact yet powerful R-40M speakers fill the room with smooth, distortion-free sound and superior quality for all frequencies. Look no further if you seek a bookshelf speaker with exceptional response times and minimal distortion - this is the perfect match.
Mission 778X 65W Integrated Amplifier with Phono & Bluetooth
The Mission 778X is phono-ready with a JFET-based phono stage that provides precise RIAA equalisation, optimized for MM cartridges, so no extra pre-amp is needed. It features RCA line, digital, and coax connections, alongside a Bluetooth receiver with aptX/AAC for CD-level audio streaming from smart devices, offering both convenience and high-quality sound.
This amplifier is equipped with a high-performance ESS ES9018K2M Reference chip, utilizing ESS Technology’s 32-bit HyperStream architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator. This allows for ultra-low noise digital audio file compatibility, with sampling rates up to 384kHz (PCM) and DSD256.
The headphone stage matches the performance of standalone headphone amplifiers, delivering dynamic, detailed sound thanks to its high slew rate design. All around, the 778X provides engaging and refined performance, catering to modern music enthusiasts while honoring Mission’s rich heritage.
Klipsch Reference R-40M 4" Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)
Compact yet powerful, the R-40M speakers deliver room-filling sound from a modest footprint.
Using trickle-down technology from Reference Premiere lines and up, these capable speakers don't skimp where it matters; the sound.
If you're looking for a bookshelf speaker with smooth response times and minimal breakup and distortion (even the highest frequencies) then look no further.
Thanks to the attention to detail of the Klipsch design team the R-40M bookshelf speakers perform, reliably, far above their station.
The R-40M are your entry point into the Reference Series range, and what an entry they make.
Built like every other model in the range to deliver a first-class audio performance, their 4" TCP woofers combine with Klipsch's renowned Tractrix horn technology to deliver more power, detail and emotion you would normally expect from a compact cabinet.
