At US$14,999, this Meridian 568.2 listing is ambitious, sitting well above the 75th percentile of US$7,818 and nearly double the median of US$637 from your three recent comparable USD listings. Even the original new price of US$6,995 (without MHR Smart Link) and US$7,745 (with link) from 2005 is far lower than this asking price, making it a tough value play unless the condition is pristine and accessories are complete.
The 568.2 remains a highly regarded 8-channel music computer with outstanding on-board DSP and complete analogue/digital conversion, supporting up to 96kHz/24-bit resolution on all outputs. Its ability to drive Meridian DSP loudspeakers with discrete digital outputs adds meaningful upside for system integration. However, given the price is well above median, buyers should verify the condition rigorously, confirm included accessories like the MHR Smart Link if applicable, and check for age-related issues common in older digital processors before committing.
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.
