Timing matters a bit here because this is a mature Mission design, not a current generation speaker, so value comes down to condition and completeness more than “newness.” At €175, it sits well below the €209 25th percentile and far under the €242 median of your recent EUR comparables, so this reads as a strong deal rather than merely fair.
The 753 is a respected older floorstander with the easy, engaging Mission house sound: lively mids, solid imaging, and enough scale to make them rewarding on real-world stands and in normal rooms. If they’re original, tidy, and fully working, there’s real upside here because well-kept pairs remain desirable to people who want musicality over hyper-analysis. I’d mainly just verify driver condition, foam/surround health, and whether the grilles/spikes are included.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
