This is a strong deal: at £89, it sits well below the £100 25th percentile and comfortably under the £128 median for recent UK comparables, so it looks like a proper bargain rather than just a fair ask.
That makes it an easy one to take seriously if it’s working cleanly. This Cyrus One is a respected integrated from Mission’s better-regarded era, known for a lively, confident presentation with plenty of drive for real-world speakers; at this price, the upside is getting a genuinely capable vintage amp without paying near-top-market money. With condition unknown, I’d still want to confirm the basics — quiet pot, stable channel balance, no relay or hum issues, and all inputs behaving — but the pricing leaves enough room that a tidy, functioning example is very much worth a look.
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.
