Zeer leuke speakers, bijzonder goed geluid voor het formaat
At €35, this sits well below the €75 25th percentile of your recent comparable EUR listings, so it reads as a strong bargain rather than just a fair buy. Against a €148 median and €307 75th percentile, the asking price leaves a lot of room for a sensible restoration or recap budget and still keeps the total comfortably attractive.
Mission’s small two-way standmounts are well regarded for lively, engaging sound and easy placement, which makes them a nice entry-point vintage buy if you want musicality over fuss. The main value question is condition: at this price, a buyer should mainly confirm that both drivers play cleanly, the cabinets are intact, and the tweeters aren’t tired or distorted; if those basics check out, this looks like a very worthwhile pickup.
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.
