Meridian M3100 Active Speakers with the manufacturer stands - designed by Atacama
The best speakers I have ever owned is a good starting point! Sound Quality and Clarity is absolutely .... Beautiful & Truly Astounding ... infact Awesome!
The build quality is second to none - for mid size book shelf / standmount speakers they are heavy and extremely well constructed. The manufacturer stands designed by Atacama are of the same quality - the speakers have specific screws and mounts to securely attach them to the stands. The stands can be sand filled making them even more solid and have a large concealed cavity in the back section to house the mains and speaker cable. They have mounting screws built into the rear of the cabinet if needed to be used without the stands and wall mounted
They each require to be plugged into the mains and also into the rear of a preamp output via phono speaker cable. Both these cables are supplied and the phono speaker cables are Meridian branded, designed by, and using quality Van Den Hul cabling - both phono speaker cables measure 5 metres each - the mains cables are each approx 2 metres in length.
They will run from any amp, integrated or preamp, that have preamp outputs.
They were bought from a training music engineer who bought them ex-dem from a HiFi shop - they are approx 1.5 years old.
As for the spec:
