Prachtig mission m33 (cyrus) zeer goede reviews waaronder 5 sterren in "what-hifi?" magazine. Compacte zuilen slechts 85 cm hoog maar klinken groter dan ze lijken. Warm, gedetailleerd en muz
Should you grab it at €115? For a working pair in unknown but acceptable condition, that reads as a fair-to-good asking price for Mission M33s rather than a steal; I’d be more excited if the cabinets and drivers are confirmed clean, because the model sits in that solid used-value bracket where condition really drives the deal.
What makes it worth considering is the usual Mission recipe: lively, engaging timing, easy musical flow, and enough scale to make them fun with rock and small-ensemble listening. If the listing includes grilles, original packaging, or proof of careful ownership, that adds real upside; with vintage-ish speakers like this, you want to see intact surrounds, matching drivers, and no cabinet swelling or terminal issues before calling it an easy buy.
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.
