The speakers are based on the highest levels of competence in physical construction, psycho-acoustics, materials, etc etc. Do you feel that other manufacturers have better competence in this area ? If so, out of interest...who ?
This can be become an endless debate. Just the fact hat Meridian does use DSPs, and an active-amp approach, as well as high end drivers, does not tell, if the speakers are not "sounded" or made to reach a "certain goal/philosophy". That is only shown by "unbiased" directivity plots, anechoic measurements, impulse measurements, waterfall, etc. All of that you will not find on the Meridian webside and one more reason that sustains the believe others are just a good or better.
Companies of at least equal quality can be found in the pro-world easily, even some that appear to have mastered certain technical aspects that dwarf the achivements of Meridian. However, pls do not ask me to elaborate. In "the" Meridian forum to have an unbiased discussion on Meridian will hardly be possible and becomes easily a never ending story. But I throw you two words. Coaxial driver technology and cardiod directivity.
