Do you just think the old ones will be put in the trash??

Meridian will have worked something out with the dealers, basically allowing the dealers to get close to their full margin buy selling the older 861's. They are not going to do you a V6 with $9000 off and let you keep the V4 as well, the dealer will hope to get some of that $9000 back through selling your old V4.




If the upgrade was just a few cards, say the speakerlink card for $4-5000, and a new firmware (which the V4 will probably get anyway) so no 'big' improvement in sound no one would feel peeved.
The fact it is a whole new chassis and M are prepared to give current owners 35% off is pretty good.

I do think this should have been the 961 and that the 861 should have had a speakerlink card added and new firmware only. It would have pissed a lot less people off.


No Darling, I've had it months!
