Head-Fi writes … The above mentioned preamp is near perfect, the cosmetics are almost above reproach, and the sonics are nearly so, and I say that only to defer to others’ taste in sound. The cabinet looks like black plastic, but is extruded aluminum, rather like the FMJ Arcams or the Musical Fidelity X-Series. Ribbing […]
In case you didn’t know, these fantastic unit do come up from time to time BUT please note (a) this is one of the most flexible yet complicated unit I have encountered in over 40 years which means (b) you must have the special control unit remote because many functions that cannot be easily accessed […]
1: 102 A concept with possibly only one prototype of a stand-alone phono stage and/or step-up. Never put into production 2: MCA FM tuner. Only a handful (UK spec only) ever built, in order to fulfill an obligation. Chances of finding one = near zero 3: 107 power amp. Re-badged from left-over Zircon / Orpheus […]
In this, my latest experiment, I decided to buy as many pre-owned / low cost CD players as I could afford for the investigation and NONE over £40 each from the major auction sites. PART 1: I wanted to determine if via my reference system #1 (£100 in total), I could (a) hear any worthwhile […]
I read your comments about vintage Meridian equipment, very interesting. I have a 101 preamp and twin 105 power amps, and I’m amazed at how they still sound after 25 years. Such wallop – as close to live as I’ve come across. I recently heard Musical Fidelity’s much-praised A5 pre/power combination – very smooth and […]
Background: At Subjective Audio, we were the most successful Meridian retailers for six years commencing in 1977 and thus arguably have sold more pairs of Meridian 105 power amps and 101 pre amps than anyone else. We have very happy memories of that era, the reliability of the equipment, the value and indeed the outstanding […]
3 pairs of 105 power amps = 3 monos per channel. Crossover-less. An outstanding concept of having the frequency response of each pair matched to the characteristics of each pair of drivers with the upper frequency response very steeply rolled off with the lower response of the next pair taking over where the lower pair […]
1: Meridian 101B anodized Hard anodized finish over the raw aluminium. An experiment to test surface-finish durability. It was indeed resistant to even a heavy set of keys being smashed down on to the surface. Never offered as an option because the process was very expensive compared to spray / power coating alternatives. 2: Meridian […]
A article we found particularly interesting; we read it start to finish! Meridian Audio was established in 1977 by the designers Bob Stuart and Allen Boothroyd who had made their name with the Lecson ( http://www.lecson.co.uk/faq.html, http://www.thevintageknob.org/THEVAULT2/LECSON/LECSON.html 1974) and Orpheus (1975) range of amplifiers. Bob Stuart has a background of psychoacoustics and electronic engineering while […]
Apparently Allen Boothroyd’s original inspiration for the Lecson power amplifier range came from a visit to the Ely Cathedral- more specifically the heating radiators within the cathedral. Please click HERE to continue
Howard Popeck: Emerging phoenix-like or perhaps Cinderella-like out of the turmoil of Lecson via the short-lived Orpheus designs, Bob Stuart and Allen Boothroyd announced the arrival of BS Meridian in Hi-fi News 35 years ago. The series 1 system comprised initially the 101 preamp, the 103 power amp and the astonishing M1 active speakers with […]
From 1973
Long before there was a Meridian audio, the Boothroyd/Stuart team formed Lecson Audio. Aficionados from the 1970’s will remember Lecson primarily for their flat multicolored preamplifier and cylindrical amplifier, but like most enterprises the story goes much deeper. They are also one of the few audio firms to win a Design Council Award and be […]
Hi Howard, I have a pair of Meridian M1 mk2, I am the original owner . I’ve definitely got it right now modules for the 101. I bought them back a few of years ago but didn’t have the room, time or money to do them justice. They are now sitting in a cupboard rather […]
