Our Thoughts RADAR AI

This is a buyer’s market at €55: for a known Mission 761 pair, that’s firmly on the cheap side of typical used pricing, which usually lands around €90–€180 in decent condition, with nicer examples pushing higher. At €55, it reads as a strong deal if the drivers are healthy and the cabinets aren’t rough.

The 761 is well-liked for its lively, coherent presentation and punchy, engaging midrange—classic Mission charm in a compact standmount. It’s a good buy for someone who wants an easy-to-place vintage pair with real musicality, especially if the grills, foam, and tweeter domes are intact. If the listing is light on condition detail, the main thing to check is driver originality and any foam, cone, or cabinet damage, but at this price the upside is good enough to justify a close look.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Mission

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.
