Mission 778x Integrated Amplifier Review

I received the 778x along with the Audiolab 9000a integrated. Both amplifiers share a similar design, and while each is badged differently the care over build quality assures me that this carries a lot of Audiolab in its DNA. It also looks awfully similar to the Quad Vena, though I have only seen the Quad in pictures online.

This new amp is a bit of a throwback as Mission originally released the 778 in 1983. That amp was also narrower and apparently a bit of a hit.

The 778x features a metal chassis and two large knobs. One for volume and the other for source selection. Both knobs have a nice feel. Between the knobs, you'll find a power button an IR receiver, and a headphone jack.

underneath the knobs is this black strip which is just there the house the Mission logo and the product name. I could do without that, to be honest. It makes the amplifier look like a Wally. I feel like it would look so much nicer without it. Besides, the top panel features a massive Mission logo.

The 778x is available in Silver or Black
