Daryl Falkner Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 SOLD SOLD Item: Meridian Active Loudspeakers M60 Location:Qld Price: $800 + postage Item Condition:Excellent Reason for selling:Purchasing small bookshelf as downsizing home. Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Boothroyd and Stuart. Made in Cambridge, England. 1989. I am the 2nd owner of these. They are cosmetically 9/10. One very tiny scratch on one side of speaker. I have tried to show in last 2 photos. They certainly sound amazing and I’ve been told I will regret selling but simply no room. I powered these through an Audiolab 8000S. Aproximately 8meters of high quality interconnect cable on each speaker for perfect placement. They are 31kg each. 900 high. 210 wide. 295 depth. I have all original boxes with solid foam packing and manual. Pictures: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider27 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 If it is active speaker, why does it need to be powered by Audiolab 8000s? Is Audiolab 8000s used with it act as preamp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect these fall under that description. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to know. Actually I read the attached manual by OP and it says that it has digital crossover as well as 3 x 65w power amplifiers inside if I understood correctly. Awesome looking speaker and wish it is in Melbourne. Best luck on sale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anandpkumar Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I have the Meridian DSP5000, which are the exact same speakers as the M60s with an additional digital section (DAC). The cabinet, drivers and amplification of the M60s are the same as in the DSP5000. Very sweet sounding speakers Fantastic buy at this price - I paid much more for the DSP5000s, though mine is a more recent version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Audiolab 8000s used with it act as preamp? He's using the pre out from the Audiolab, and the speakers have their own active xover and amps for each driver. BTW: @Daryl Falkner these seem to be different drivers, from what's seen on the net, are they new original or substitutes? They also look different from the Meridian PDF user manual if you zoom on them. Like the ones attached below https://www.meridian-audio.com/media/6982/m60-active-loudspeaker-user-guide.pdf Cheers George Edited March 26, 2019 by georgehifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
