Yeah the revised Freedom has a silk dome tweeter which sits underneath the mid\bass driver as opposed to the metal dome above the mid\bass driver configuration of the originals Chris has.
Some people prefer the brighter warmer presentation of the originals. I liked the originals but went back to the Freedom's which I first had and prefer.
I enjoyed the time i had with the originals though.
In a nutshell they both have the fab qualities of that excellent Aerogel mid \bass driver. Differences being the originals have a brighter warmer, out of the box presentation.
The Freedoms having a more balanced slightly in the box presentation.
Enjoy your speakers Chris - nice result !

Apologies for being too critical. It's what comes of remembering a visit from Robin Marshall, who really did know a thing or two about speakers and who took the 752 apart in not so many words. Also, my experiences were from new examples that never stayed in the dem room for much more than six months.

A topic for another thread is how some speakers really do 'run in' over a very long time - and possibly 'run out' over even longer. I'm thinking Mission 770mk1's, where the once sparkly tweeter all but disappeared after over twenty years, Rogers LS7-T at seventeen years old, the once spiteful metal-dome tweeter had completely mellowed out. B&W 601's (series 1) used to sound splashy I remember, yet a pair of these at several years old had all but sweetened up and sounded delightful.

Robin Marshall designed for Mission for a while, but I don't honestly remember the time frame - could have been long after Epos. I think from memory that the Audax? Aerogel bass driver was pretty new at the time, so I suspect there'd have been much interest in this speaker because of it. Robin wasn't being snide or critical I remember, just observant of the way the speaker was designed - the way the recipe was put together. We saw a lot of him at the time and I knew him going back to his Audiomaster days in 1974 or so.
