Deze mission m31i boekenkast luidsprekers leveren een fantastische geluidskwaliteit in een compact formaat. Ideaal voor kleinere ruimtes of als aanvulling op een bestaande set. Ze zijn in goede staat
What you should be asking yourself is: is €95 a fair entry point for a well-liked older Mission standmount, or are you paying too much for nostalgia? Based on the available pricing signals, €95 looks fair to good rather than a steal: the M31i launched at about €242 per pair in 2011, and used-market chatter places them in the roughly €50–€110 zone depending on condition and market, so this sits near the middle of that range.
The M31i is a sensible buy because it’s a compact 2-way, rear-ported speaker with 88 dB sensitivity and a reputation for easy, lively listening rather than heavy-handed bass. If the cabinets, grilles, and tweeters are clean and both drivers are original, this is the kind of older Mission that can still make a very enjoyable small-room system; at this price, I’d mainly want to confirm cosmetic condition and that both speakers are matched and working properly.
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.
