If you like, I can recommend a Meridian UK dealer (who is their largest one now based on what they've sold over the last 12 months) who would be willing to travel to Dublin and take a look at the problem and try to rectify it

Not going to happen before Christmas and they would likely charge you for the day and flight. But by comparison to the Speaker price(s) and perhaps "replacing" them, it would be a relatively worthwhile investment

It strikes me that you would be able to retrieve some of this from Meridian anyway, as it sounds like a Manufacturing issue since day one

Let me know if you're interested. I will then ring the Dealer Director (who is also a good friend of long standing) and give him an intro to the problem. He would then ring you to arrange something

They have made a few visit over to me during my rebuild in 2007 and have installed multiple systems in another friends house in Cork. He also mentioned to me a few months ago that he had some significant installations on the go in Dublin

Let me know if you would like to proceed, but hopefully you can get it up and running sooner than that anyway
