What I am saying is, Meridian want people to pay for Apodising as a return on their investment, with this thought, Apodising brings added value to a New Meridian Spinner and Stops people getting the Very best sound from a Cheaper source.
In Business, A Point of differance hard earned has to be exploited to the full.

For myself, I dont expect to be kept up to date with my personal system, old as it is.
I clearly see how those with heavy Recent investment look to being supported and somwhat future proofed. Time will tell but I dearly hope they are.
