Te koop: geluidsboxen met standaard zie foto's merk mission 701 inclusief twee mooie grondstandaard afhalen voor € 75,-
This is a buyer’s market for this category at the moment, with typical comparable listings clustering around €43 and the middle half running from €37 to €60; at €75, this asking price sits above the 75th percentile, so it reads as ambitious rather than fair. For a used pair of Mission 701s, I’d want either notably better cosmetics, confirmed originality, or extras to justify that premium.
That said, the 701 is a well-liked vintage bookshelf speaker with a reputation for lively, engaging sound and easy-to-drive sensitivity, so a clean, intact pair can still be a worthwhile buy. The upside is strongest if the drivers are original, the surrounds are healthy, and the cabinets are tidy; if those boxes are checked, they’re still a satisfying listen, but at €75 I’d prefer to negotiate unless the condition is genuinely exceptional.
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.
