Good to see Mission speakers in this drop, also surprised. Visited IAG a few times in early 2010s and heard Mission 796 is inspired by the car Lamborghini, luxury style, attractive, great performance. Not sure because of this, IAG boss bought a lamborghini or because IAG boss got a lamborghini then ask engineer to design 796SE, anyhow they are close related. It's designed by Peter Comeau, the British famous designer. Usually Mission sell through distributors, not sure why they are here this time, possibly they see the trend Massdrop is attracting more and more audiophiles and they start new channel.
RayFyou should ask Massdrop!! Haha. While, when I worked in a dealer company before , I visited IAG a couple times, they told me Mission 796SE is inspired by Lamborghini design. I search and find this photo, see the number is "IAG".
