Verkaufe originale Lautsprecher. Sehr selten, hergestellt in England, Modell Mission 761.
This is a buyer's market for vintage standmounts, and €120 is fair rather than a bargain: it matches the 75th-percentile asking price from five recent Mission 761 listings, while the median is €96. For an excellent-condition pair, the premium is defensible, but there is little room for negotiation-free upside.
The 761 remains a very likeable compact monitor, with a clean, balanced midrange, smooth treble, precise imaging, and surprisingly tuneful bass from its sealed cabinet. Its 89 dB sensitivity and 6-ohm load make it easy to partner with modest amplifiers, and the design suits both digital and analogue systems. At this price, excellent condition is the key value: verify both tweeters and woofers work cleanly, and check the cabinets and grilles in person before paying.
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.
