For sale is a full set of the immaculate mission e83s (my main L-R speakers), e82s (side speakers – though are amazing stereo speakers in their own right), and c83 centre speaker. These speakers are incredibly powerful together and will quite literally make your trousers shake with bass vibrations.
The stereo imagery is like nothing i’ve ever experienced, and in surround sound modes, they work very harmoniously to create a sonic experience which is far beyond anything you’d get at an actual cinema, or even stadium gig.
The whole series of speakers was called ‘elegante’, there isn’t a huge amount of information on them because they’re not on mission’s own website any more, but what there is i’ve detailed below. The e83’s alone cost me over 2k new to give you some perspective.
Please see my other listings to see the hardware I used to power them.
Please email me with any questions.
Happy bidding

Mission’s own information sheet says this about the e83:
Tall and elegant, the Mission e83 tower loudspeaker is a true audiophile speaker that gives outstanding full-range performance. The curved form to the Grania cabinet optimises dispersion and provides a rigid framework for the drive units as well as providing a visually attractive profile. Mission designed Grania cabinet walls are formed from graded layers of MDF and particle board shaped into an extensively braced and solid cabinet which achieves outstandingly low coloration levels. A solid, machined plinth adds stability and improves bass transient performance.
Triple Auxiliary Bass Radiators enhance bass dynamics and extension, allowing the Paramid-S drivers to cross over smoothly to a Viotex fabric dome treble unit in Missions IDG format. With high efficiency and super-wide bandwidth,the Mission e83 is ideal for stereo hi-fi and as part of the top elegante home entertainment system.

In 2004, ‘Whathifi Sound and Vision’ awarded the E8 range their ‘Best Multichannel Speaker Package above 2000’ with a five star review. Other reviews I have found include:
Hi Fi Choice, September 2004Elegante e83 stereo ‘Best Buy'”New Elegante e83 puts Mission back on the map…””Polish and refinement are the touchstones of the new Elegante range leader from Mission. Taken as a package, the e83 is a very easy loudspeaker to get along with and it’s hard to think of realistic circumstances that might cause it to sound unpleasant, short of misbehaving source components or amplifiers. The ability to resolve individual instruments or voices in a group, or follow subtle differences in intonation – make this an unusually talented and a very rewarding loudspeaker to listen to.”Hi Fi Choice score, 87%
Home Cinema, Issue 2, July 2004Elegante e82 system”The elegante e82 package is a set-up with stylish yet beautifully understated design, quality construction throughout and all the performance most people are ever going to want. You could probably find a speaker system for a similar price that sounds as good – but by comparison it would look like the reject pile at a flatpack furniture enthusiasts’ convention. In fact, anything but elegante…””Playing The Last Samurai, the system proved more than capable of driving up to high levels in those battle sequences, maintaning fine definition even during the all-out chaos of the raging conflict at the film’s climax. But it also supplied as much detail as one could want in the gentler dialogue scenes, and I was particularly taken with how well the front three speakers integrated.”Home Cinema Verdict, 92%
Nxos Eikona, Greece, May 2004Elegante e83 system”at 7.000 Euro the top system of Elegante, manages to combine many of the advantages of the “cinema packages” of this category, by having very delicate sound that we can only find at the high end making. If we add to this the excellent appearance and construction, we have in front of us a system that manages to distinguish, giving us a universal solution that wouldn’t leave anyone unsatisfied.”
