At £415, this sits essentially on top of the current used market: just above the £412 median and within the tight £411-£414 interquartile band, so it reads as fair rather than a bargain or an overreach. For a Meridian 205, that’s a sensible ask if the unit is clean and fully working; it’s close enough to normal pricing that condition and provenance matter more than penny-perfect discounting.
What makes it worth a look is the Meridian reputation for solid, refined amplification and long-lived build quality, which tends to keep these pieces desirable among listeners who want dependable performance rather than flash. If the listing includes original packaging, paperwork, or a known service history, that adds real value here; without those, it’s still buyable at this level, just not a standout deal.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
