Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems What's a good price for a used 861 ?

andreas - i've been watching them for a while on audiogon, eBay, and the like.

$7,500 for a not-overly-equipped unit seems to be de riguer. i've seen some minimalist units go for 6,500. loaded-up stuff goes for 9,000 or better.

the problem with used units is that i've never seen one that was just what i needed. in all cases it was going to cost me an extra few grand to get the right cards into it - and at that point it's kinda pointless to not buy new.

hopefully some useful, anecdotal data.

i'm trying to weasel a deal on a new one so i can avoid the upgrade process and order it setup the way i need (DSP speakers only; the 8 Svid card; tape loop card; etc.

i've been really holding back though until the room correction card becomes real. i've asked dealers, i've asked distributors, and i've asked Meridian - NOBODY dares answer. Meridian just ignores the question, which is a bummer.
