View Full Version : MERIDIAN M2 active speakers & stands
.... the buyer thought they had a usb connection FfS [emoji23][emoji23]
I’m very liable to change my mind about letting one of you enjoy these.
They sound absolutely wonderful to myself and all who hear them .
All original drivers etc and on their original adjustable stands.
These are not mint cosmetically though they are perfectly acceptable in their listening positions .
I have included photos of the worse bits, I’ll add that I’m considered a fussy bugger.
Snooze you lose ....ok ?
Oh and I’ve fitted new acoustic transparent fabric to their grills too.
Tweeters diffraction foam now removed , little bits of the black veneer on the baffles have come off ( common on these )
Collection and demo only at Milton Keynes.
I’d like £400. Price dropped. please PM if interested

I bet these sound great, I had some M3's a while ago and the sounds they produced out of a small cabinet was incredible. A brief fling admittedly but still great.

You have to put a serious pre-amp in front of these to realise how special they are. I lived with them more than happily for 20 years, put them in the cupboard for years to :upgrade? Took them out and stuck a pre on that cost mutiples of what they did and realised I had done them an injustice for all those years. For what they sell for, there is nothing that comes remotely close to this day!

Hi Simon , I have been told just that , on the prowl for the right preamp now , though I must say that they’re impressive with just an iPad up their Ar..

Should have known there was no port near MK!

Whilst the buyer was clearly showing his ignorance on these speakers, a Bluetooth adaptor could usefully be used to make the link between old tech and new tech. Whilst obviously not 'hifi' a Bluetooth connection can be surprisingly good. Logitech do one (with outputs of both RCA and spdif) with good reviews. Plenty of others as well.
About 3 years ago I needed to make a cable free connection between an iPad and an 'old' system and used a cheap August Bluetooth adaptor. I was surprised how good things sounded.
On another note I believe MK is the city furthest away from a sea port. Or am I getting my pub facts all wrong?

You are correct about MK’s location.
I have considered the Bluetooth idea and I may well go ahead and try it.
I demonstrated the M2’s to another enthusiast at the weekend , he was shocked when the hairs on the back of his neck stood to the occasion... with an iPad up their arse !!
Wish I had never sold my caiman as I reckon that’ll do them justice

Several years ago (early 90s) a mate at work was returning to the USA offered me his pristine hifi system for about £500 comprising Meridian actives (piano black finish), about 1,000 lps, a preamp and a TT. I declined due to space considerations. One of my biggest mistakes. :mental:
Can't recall what the preamp and TT were but they were quality items.
These are still available at £400

My wife says I often imagine stuff - this is one of those occasions I guess. :)
Good luck with the sale Andrew. Very tempting at that price. Someone is gonna be lucky and have a smile on their face.
Thanks Edward , they are impressive speakers.
Andrew, there is a new poster who mentioned he may be looking for active speakers. Name of Liberdade/David. Have a look in the Welcome section.

Amazed these have not sold. People have no idea what they are missing. If I had to loose my main system which cost lots of multiples of what these cost back then, let alone what you are asking, it wouldn't break my heart. They are an all time classic and still disgrace some of the over priced crap doing the rounds these days!

I totally agree mate and really don’t understand it , in fact I’ll be removing them from sale tomorrow and I’ll just forget about them .

could always do the up a bit more if your looking for a project.. can only improve the value.. cabs and stands for instance.

Yeah true but have you seen the size of the capacitors in these !
I’ll keep them and I’m sure a nice preamp will come along

Cabinets not caps. Lol [emoji13]. If I lived close and had the money I'd have had them by now lol
