The price drop is fantastic news & very sizeable drops they are too. They will doubtless have an impact on resale prices, as others have pointed out, but there's a danger of gift-horse / mouth interface here!
Thanks for the post Rick.

It would certainly be great to know "definitively' if ;
1) the G65 will support MQA, with or without hardware upgrade, 2) the HD621 will be upgraded to support full spec 4k HDR, (HDMI 2.1 is now in testing and it includes 1 HDR feature that HDMI 2.0a does not). 3) Most importantly, from the Multichannel MQA thread, will we actually see multichannel MQA music files, my interest is Jazz, Blues, Rock genres. No offense to classical music lovers.
Progress can be a good thing, but I can't help thinking that the roll out of 4k and related HDMI changes seem to be some sort of a joke on manufacturers and consumers.
I'd be surprised if there's a HD621 upgrade path to HDMI 2.1 - more likely a new model. Time will tell.

All I can say is you can add me to the list of people waiting to see what happens. Time will tell. I think we all know and I assume Meridian knows the things we are looking and hoping for...

I took advantage of the price drop and purchased a MS600. I am very happy with the quality of sound and had the benefit of significantly less money spent.
I will still have a place for the unit serving my whole house audio and a second area when I finally purchase a MQA compliant unit. I am thankful that Meridian made such a good unit available at such a reasonable price.
