Mission two way speakers - model 701 ( kamer speakers). In nette staat. Afmeting: hoog 45 cm- breed 21.5 Cm en diep 30 cm weerstand8 ohm. Geschikt voor vermogen 25 - 100 watt.
€40 is a fair buy, slightly under the €42 median and comfortably inside the normal used range defined by the €38 to €52 spread. It is not a bargain in the strict sense, but it’s close enough to the center of the market that the asking price looks sensible rather than stretched.
These Missions are well-liked for their easy, lively presentation and broadly friendly balance, which makes them appealing as compact vintage standmounts. At this price, the main upside is simple: if the cabinets, drivers, and crossover are intact, you’re paying a sane entry point for a respected older speaker that can still be very enjoyable with the right amp; I’d just want to confirm the tweeters are healthy and that both speakers play evenly.

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.
