Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems 861v6 upgrade thoughts

For me, the interesting question is where is Meridian headed with the G68? In recent years, my dealer actually directed people toward the G68, rather than the 861, because he felt it was a much better value. He felt it offered 90% of the performance at half the cost. He only pushed the 861 on people who wanted the best and were willing to pay for it. Now that the 861 v6 is out, will Meridian further improve the G68 such that it surpasses the 861 v4? If M does that, then I can still advance in the Meridian world without incurring the high cost associated with the 861 v6 upgrade.

Obviously, one area where M clearly can improve the G68, and perhaps give it an edge over the 861 v4, is to offer apodizing (assuming M never offers that for the 861 v4 or less). Or come out with a "new" G68 in much the same way they released the 861 v.6.
