Mission QX-1 MK2 Bookshelf Loudspeakers Very Nice sounding speakers, especially when matched with a sub, comes with box and packaging and grilles. Condition: Excellent Payment Method: EFT,Cash,Paypal Region/State: (WA) Western Australia/Australia By Ebenezer Joseph 0 Comments Secure Ad AUD $300 Date: June 2, 2025Jun 2
At A$300, this sits right at the 75th percentile of your recent comparable AUD listings and well above the A$213 median, so it’s top-end fair rather than a bargain. It is not cheap, but it is still within the market for a clean pair, and the “excellent” condition helps justify being near the upper edge.
These Missions are well-liked for their compact footprint, easy placement, and lively, coherent presentation; as a vintage two-way bookshelf design, the upside is in getting a tidy, well-kept set that’s ready to play. If the drivers, surrounds, and cabinets are genuinely clean, and the grills/stands are included, this is a sensible buy for someone who wants a straightforward, good-sounding classic without hunting for a project.

Mission Electronics, a British hi-fi icon, was founded in 1977 by Farad Azima in the UK, rapidly emerging as a pioneer in acoustic engineering. Azima, a former audio importer and distributor, infused the brand with innovative drive, launching the revolutionary Mission 770 loudspeaker in 1978—the world's first with a commercial polypropylene bass unit. This debut set benchmarks for clarity and bass response, propelling Mission to prominence amid the golden era of British hi-fi.
The brand excels in loudspeakers across sectors, from seminal 1970s and 1980s models like the 770 to high-end masterpieces such as the 2001 Pilastro, Elegante, and SX series. Under Peter Comeau's acoustic leadership since 1999, Mission has expanded into hi-fi electronics, including amplifiers and home cinema systems, while maintaining an engineering-first ethos. Now part of the International Audio Group since 2005, with production in Shenzhen, it leverages advanced manufacturing for components like cables and turntable ancillaries, though speakers remain its core strength.
Mission holds mid-to-high-end status, revered by discerning buyers for award-winning performance—What Hi-Fi? Best Loudspeaker (2000, 2001), EISA Speaker of the Year (2001, 2003)—and timeless appeal. A management buyout refined its retail focus, positioning it as a reliable benchmark against pricier rivals, blending heritage innovation with accessible excellence for serious audiophiles.
