Clearout: Meridian 506, 501, 201

Post by Mark »

Hi Folks,

Having a bit of a clearout as I just have way too much hifi stuff at the moment and not enough time/space to enjoy it all. I'm open to offers on everything, I have priced everything to it's condition - v.good condition as that's how I keep all my stuff (as most members on here), this is not poor condition cheap equipment.

Meridian 506 20-bit CD player
Excellent example of a Meridian 506 20 bit CD player that is up for grabs. It sounds wonderful but I rarely use it these days so thought it best to offer it out.
Price: €450.

Price: €320

Price: €120

Good gear at great prices there. Somebody could put together a lovely system for next to nothing there.

Thanks, I think they're fairly priced but open to correction!

A few other bits in my ruthless clearout as I've decided to downsize my surround setup:

Pair of B&W DM601 S3 standmount & stands - €280

B&W LCR60 centre speaker - €200

B&W ASW300 subwoofer - €200

The above (with the 602.5's) are part of a surround setup which was/is rarely used and therefore are in great condition. The DM601s are especially fantastic little speakers.

I also have a DIY Paradise Monica 2 NOS DAC & Charlize amp that I could be persuaded to part with - seriously cool bits of kit.

Happy to demo, only problem is the only amp I have is either my Onkyo AV receiver or a DIY TK2050 at the moment as one of my Meridian 105s require some refurbishment.

Looking for swaps for a compact surround system such as a Boston Acoustics Soundware, Kef Eggs, Canton Movie etc. I also have a long running weakness for System Audio speakers...

I have updated the initial post with pictures and added the below:

B&W DM601 S3
These speakers need no introduction, absolutely stunning speakers that make a much bigger sound than their size suggests
Price: €270

Although currently wall mounted, available with the correct stands as per this picture:

B&W LCR60
Great centre speaker
Price: €180

B&W ASW300 subwoofer
Again, great sub
Price: €180

If anyone wants to make me an offer on the whole package (DM602.5, DM601, LCR60, ASW300), I'm all ears. Package shown here:

Original RRP was in the region of €2500 IIRC. Apologies for poor pic. Reason for sale is that the system really doesn't suit the layout of our new home. I'd be open to P/X a Boston Acoustics XS system or similar.

I will be sticking this stuff up on adverts/donedeal soon but would really love to be saved the hassle!

Hi Paul,

I never got your PM! 201 is still available, in fact everything is - had some good interest but no one has coughed up cash yet!
