Our Thoughts RADAR AI

Minimal wear is a nice signal, but at £287 this sits well above the £263 75th percentile and looks ambitious versus the recent used market, even though it isn’t wildly out of line for a desirable example. Against a £127 median and £64 25th percentile, you’d want this to justify a premium with proven condition, tidy cosmetics, and strong provenance.

What makes it worth considering is the combination of the Cyrus lineage and the mono-block mode, which can make it a flexible, serious-sounding buy if you want more grip and drive than many modest integrated setups. A clean, minimally worn unit is the right sort of listing to chase, but at this level I’d want reassurance on functionality, any service history, and that the mode-switching is working properly before paying up.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Mission

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.
