Condition is unknown, so £414 is only a fair-to-okay ask if the unit is complete and working; without a verified service history or test, I’d treat it as upper-middle rather than a steal. Meridian resale can be soft, and used listings often need to land clearly below the safer “no-drama” price to stand out, so this feels most attractive only if it’s one of the cleaner, better-documented examples.
What makes it worth a look is the usual Meridian strength: tidy, refined presentation, good musical timing, and the sort of low-fatiguing, audiophile voicing that still has a loyal following. If it’s been well kept, with original packaging, remote, manual, and no channel imbalance or output issues, that adds real value; if not, budget for a checkup and possible age-related servicing before calling it a bargain.
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.
