I've had a pair of Mission 753s for four years and I love them. I listened to quite a few speakers in the price range at that time (including ProAc, Monitor Audio, Elac, Rega, etc.) and I thought the only real competition were Mission's other model...the 752s. There's much more competetion now, and I've never heard the 775s, but I'm sure they're worth checking out (from what I've heard...I'd also have to agree with the above suggestion about the Meadowlark Kestrels).
