This is a serious surround controller, not a mass-market box, and the asking price is firmly ambitious versus your used-market data. With a median of US$537 and a 75th percentile of US$900, US$1,699 lands well above the typical range, so I’d only bite if you specifically want this platform and the unit is fully sorted.
What makes it worthwhile is Meridian’s reputation for polished digital processing, strong bass management, and high-end build quality; it was a flagship-type piece when new. The upside here is mainly for a buyer chasing a top-tier legacy controller in excellent condition, ideally with the right companion gear and remote/accessories. At this price, I’d want proof of full functionality, clean display/controls, and confirmation that all relevant inputs/outputs and firmware/setup are intact.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
