I think Bob will just laugh at this thread. I think he knows almost all there is to be known about making speakers that deliver accurate presentations of the music chosen.
Well, I totally disagree with you, as first of all, I hardly think Bob will read anything of this, unless he is much, much less busy as I think he is, and secondly, if he would read this, which has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of his speakers, that still lot of people are not fully convinced, which is a simple fact. That is something an eager technician can never laugh about, not really.
So, the later can either be due to insufficient marketing of Meridian, having not achieved to fully transport/penetrate their acclaimed benefits "permanently" (as said, I'm not really impressed by details offered on the Meridian homepage, e.g. measurements/graphs, which can be a "Hfi" marketing decision), or that for the price asked the speakers are indeed under pressure when compared/leave some desires. The later is up to anyone to decide personally and some have in here already said so. As said, personally I have nothing to say against Meridian speakers, however, I also do (and will) not own them ;-).
Again, if talking about pure quality, we would need to make a discussion on Meridian driver specs, which we all do not know, by comparing competition driver specs, comparing baffle steps, filters applied, etc. Instead we try to convince each other with our ears and marketing beleaves, which will and can only end in a "to each his own" conclusion, nothing more nothing less.
One thing however is true, a fully, a 100% non compromised speaker will never look like the 8000, but then we would add next to price and specs, also a third factor.....design. Oh, oh, this can make all things even more complicated :-)))
