Angeboten wird „Arpège Rèfèrence 10 R.C. + Meridian 500 und 563“ von Audiomat als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Röhren-Vollverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 2911418893 endet am 01.09.2026 um 18:54 Uhr.
This listing is not for the Meridian hi-fi component you’re seeking; “Meridian 500” here refers to the Piper PA-46 Meridian/M500 turboprop aircraft, which typically trades between €460,000 and €2,700,000 depending on age, hours, and avionics, so €3,300 is impossibly low for a real aircraft and likely a mislisted or fraudulent entry. The price is hard to benchmark for audio without a correct model ID, but if this were mistakenly labeled and actually meant a Meridian 508 or 506 CD player, €3,300 would be ambitious unless it’s the rare, original-owner 500 Soolnux with full accessories.
Before proceeding, confirm the exact product: Meridian Audio’s 500 series includes the 500 CD player (early digital source) and the 500 Amplifier, both respected but now vintage. If it truly is the 500 CD player in EUR good condition, typical used pricing sits around €1,800–€2,400, making €3,300 overpriced unless it includes the rare 500 DAC or original rack. Only buy if verified as audio, condition is pristine, and accessories are complete—otherwise, treat this as a red-flag listing.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Meridian Audio, founded in 1977 in Cambridgeshire, England, by industrial designer Allen Boothroyd and engineer Bob Stuart, emerged as a trailblazer in high-end audio. From its inception as Boothroyd Stuart, the company quickly distinguished itself through relentless innovation, pioneering digital signal processing (DSP) and becoming the first to deliver high-resolution digital active loudspeakers for domestic use, such as the groundbreaking M1 and D600 models.
The brand's product focus centers on premium home audio systems, including DSP loudspeakers with integrated amplification, active speakers, and high-resolution components engineered for superior sound fidelity. While rooted in hi-fi excellence, Meridian has masterfully expanded into bespoke automotive audio, crafting immersive systems for luxury marques like Land Rover, Jaguar, and McLaren, with signature 3D surround setups featuring up to 23 speakers tailored to vehicle acoustics.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Meridian commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its British-engineered precision, over 350 industry awards, and museum-worthy designs exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum and MoMA. It remains a benchmark for acoustic innovation, blending heritage craftsmanship with forward-thinking technology across home and automotive realms.
