Nette en goede mission 762i speakers. Ouderwetse engelse degelijkheid. Te beluisteren. Alleen afhalen
The Mission 762i standmounts are solid '90s British speakers from the budget hi-fi golden era, known for their lively dynamics and detailed mids when paired with a decent amp. At €90, this asking price is a screaming bargain—well below the €145 low end of recent comparable used Mission listings, where medians hover around €287 and top out near €557. If condition checks out, it's a no-brainer steal for entry-level enthusiasts chasing that classic Mission sound.
Buyers should verify the foam surrounds on the drivers aren't degraded (a common age-related failure on these 30-year-old units—test for buzzing or rattles at volume). Also confirm original grilles, spikes, and serial-matched pair are included; missing bits can nick the value, and inspect cabinets for veneer lifts or port resonance issues.
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.
