Our Thoughts RADAR AI

Timing matters a bit here: the M31i is an older early-2000s Mission bookshelf, so this is a vintage-value buy rather than a current-model purchase. At €75, it sits right around the going used level: active listings show about €75–€95, with a broader average near €98, so this is fair to slightly favorable, not a steal but comfortably in the sensible zone.

That makes it worth a look because the M31i is a well-liked compact two-way with the lively, articulate Mission house sound and easy placement for small- to medium-sized rooms. If the pair is complete and the drivers are healthy, the upside is solid: these can be a very enjoyable, no-drama listen for the money. At this price I’d mainly confirm tweeter output, woofer surrounds, terminal condition, and that both cabinets are matched and undamaged.

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.
