Yes, I have so say I'm really starting to sour on the hi-end. I mean, really, $10K+ now, after $20K three years ago sunk into one component - its lunacy. If $20K doesn't buy you some kind of cost effective upgrade path then why bother. I'd have been better of going with something like the Anthem D2 at less than half the price.

And its not just Meridian, Krell are now asking $15K for their new Bluray player and yapping on about future upgradeability. Maybe so, but I'd bet dollars-for-donuts nothing ever materializes.

Bah humbug!
