Prachtige opbouw set voor de audiofiel, bestaande uit een meridian 551 geïntegreerde versterker en een paar ruark vloerstaande luidsprekers. Deze combinatie levert een uitzonderlijke geluidskwaliteit
At €550, this sits just below the €557 25th percentile and a touch under the €572 median, so it reads as a mild bargain rather than a deep steal. For this model in the current EUR market, that’s comfortably on the buyer-friendly side, especially if the unit is complete and presentable.
The 551 is well-liked for its clean, composed sound and sensible Meridian build quality, so the appeal here is straightforward: you’re getting a respected, easy-to-live-with speaker at a price that isn’t asking you to pay up. If the drivers are original, the cabinets are tidy, and there’s no foam, crossover, or terminal drama, it’s a sensible buy; with unknown condition, I’d just want a quick listen and a close look before committing.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
