Hi everyone

I have a vinyl only system which I have had for many years. In 1983 I 'invested' in a pair of Meridian M2 active speakers which are still very much the pride of my sound system. They were a huge investment when I was 23 but they have served me well since and have recently been restored and refinished..
The front end uses a 17d Dynavector cartridge with an E.A.R 834P phono stage (with volume control) wired directly into the M2 speakers.
The turntable is a Rega Planer 2 turntable. This is a very simple system with no preamp, just a phono stage and speakers.

I am in the stage of upgrading my current system although not completely replacing it. I have recently replaced the original Meridian preamp with the E.A.R phono stage which has been a nice upgrade.

I hope the members can help as I would like some advice on what upgrades can be undertaken to the old power amps in the back of the speakers. Similar to 101's I believe. I had intended to send them back to the UK Meridian Repair Shop to be 'reconditioned' however sadly they have just recently closed.

Cheers

Matblack

Hello Phil. Welcome to AOS.

Tell us what music you listen to. There's a lot of input here about music as well as audio.

If you want advice about the Meridian speakers, I'd suggest starting a thread in the Past Masters section. I'm sure members can advise.

Feel free to join in any chat that interests you.


Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.
