Offered is „700“ by Mission Lautsprecher as new device from the category „Compact Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 4766630614 ends on 08.11.2026 at 06:03 o'clock.
If this is a later-generation or replacement-era Mission 700 listing, timing matters more than age alone: it’s a classic compact speaker with a loyal following, so a clean pair can still be worth buying on sound rather than spec sheets. Against your comparable EUR data, €1,498 is above the 75th percentile of €1,298, so this reads as ambitious, not a bargain, especially with the median at €706.
What keeps interest here is the model’s reputation for lively, coherent presentation and easy room placement; that’s exactly why well-kept examples still move. If the pair is original, cosmetically tidy, and complete, it can justify a premium for a collector or someone chasing this specific sound, but at this level I’d want strong condition, verified originality, and all matching parts before leaning in.
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.
