Meridian Audio M2 Floorstanding Loudspeakers A rare opportunity to acquire these fantastic British Meridian M2 Active speakers. These run all Kef drivers. B110 bass x 2 and T52 tweeters. Amplifiers work perfectly, and so do all drivers. In excellent cosmetic condition including genuine cast iron stands. The sound out of these is amazing for compact speakers, and says something about the quality of these vintage KEF speaker drivers. Bass, voicing, and soundstage is very impressive indeed. A good quality analogue preamplifier is required to use these. Pickup only from Keysborough VIC 3173. Cash
At AUD 1,000, these Meridian M2 floorstanders sit at the upper end of our recent comps (25th-75th percentile: AUD 447-1,095, median AUD 876), making them ambitious rather than a steal—especially against entry-level towers like Wharfedales or Q Acoustics that deliver solid bass and clarity for under AUD 800 used. They're not outrageous for Meridian's DSP wizardry and build if pristine, but expect to haggle unless condition photos scream mint.
Buyers, prioritise verifying the active electronics: test all drivers, DSP modules, and power supplies for hum, dropouts, or failures (common in 20+ year-old Meridians). Insist on original grilles, spikes, manuals, and remote—missing bits tank resale. Probe the seller on service history to dodge cap-dryout woes.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Meridian Audio traces its roots to 1977, when British innovators Allen Boothroyd, an industrial designer, and Bob Stuart, an engineer, founded the company in Cambridgeshire, England. From the outset, Meridian—initially known as Meridian Sound System Company—targeted high-end audio, launching with the M1 active loudspeakers, among the first designed specifically for domestic listening rather than professional use. This heritage of British engineering excellence has defined the brand, with all products researched, designed, and engineered in Great Britain, earning over 350 industry awards and placements in prestigious collections like the Victoria and Albert Museum and MoMA.
The company's product focus centers on cutting-edge digital audio solutions, particularly DSP (digital signal processing) loudspeakers with integrated amplification, including groundbreaking active designs like the world-first D600 digital loudspeaker in 1989 and high-resolution active systems from the 1990s. Meridian excels in premium home audio and video entertainment systems, encompassing amplifiers, digital speakers, and in-wall options for custom installations. Its expertise extends to bespoke automotive sound systems, partnering with luxury marques like Land Rover, Jaguar, and McLaren to deliver immersive 3D surround audio tailored to vehicle acoustics.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Meridian commands respect among discerning audiophiles and custom integrators worldwide, sold in over 80 countries through specialists. Renowned for pioneering digital audio advancements and superior fidelity, it sets benchmarks in both residential and in-car luxury audio, blending innovation with craftsmanship for those seeking uncompromised performance.
