Jim the original owner for 38 years posted some extra information regarding the M10s,
If anyone fancies an excellent pair of Meridian M10’s Keith at Purite has my old pair that I owned from new and had for 38 years are for sale in the Trade Sales thread https://pinkfishmedia.net/forum/threads/meridian-m10.260950/#post-4512051
These are still in excellent condition. They had better tweeter plates fitted than standard for the Kef T33’s and I also had xlr sockets and a better supporting plate for these as well. All were fitted prior to production after discussions with my deal Howard Popeck then running Subjective Audio and Colin Howard then with Meridian. They were very reliable all the time I had them with the exception that Meridian replaced one tweeter once and fully checked them over.

I found nothing better that I could afford or would fit and work in my room all the time I had them, but finally traded them in with Keith for a pair of Dutch & Dutch 8c’s about 2 years ago. Keith was keeping them for his self originally as a Meridian fan, but now is selling them. The D&D’s are better but at a much higher price and mainly because of the DSP room correction they have. I would have kept them, but I don’t have room for two pairs of speakers and SWIMBO said one pair had to go. It is though still a case of diminishing returns compared to the D&D’s So in my (possibly biased) opinion this pair is a bargain at the price Keith is asking.

Without covers, they really are exceptionally clean, one owner for anything over 38 years is exceptionally rare.

Those were my dream speakers at the beginning of my hifi journey. I still think that they look absolutely gorgeous!

Meridian M10 bump, seven active drivers and one passive radiators per speaker, state of the art back in 81 and not too far from it even now.

Hi Keith,

This is Keith based in Ireland, I bought a second hand Three Kii System from you in March. Can you please respond to my emails. I have tried calling you and emailing you. I see you are active here so maybe you will see this message. Please get in touch, I would like to get the speaker system working.

Regards,
Keith

I can include a very smart black Meridian 101B preamp if that helps.

Not sure a black Meridian 101B preamp will help my situation but if you could reply to my email, it would be a good start :)

Now on Ebay with no reserve!
@ Keith you know what you have to do contact the U.K. Kii distributor, as a retailer I have no contact with the manufacturer and was not a party to any arrangemeant you may have made.

Hi Keith,

I'm not aware of any arrangement that you speak of but I spoke to Andy Baker, the UK Kii Distributor. He said that because you are the seller and that you sold me a system (which included a one year warranty provided by Purite Audio) that did not work together, it is your responsibility to resolve as the seller. I spoke to Wim at Kii and he told me that it would be you that would have to organise this repair as the seller. The system has not been fit for purpose as the Kii Control does not work with the Kii speakers you sold. Under UK consumer law, it is your responsibility as the seller of the Kii Three System to ensure it isf it for purpose which it is not been since I received it.

You are breaking UK Consumer Rights Act (2015) having sold me a a system not fit for purpose and ignoring my emails and calls to have the system refunded, repaired or replaced.

Do you understand this?
