For the different versions look here: http://www.Meridian-audio.info/show.php?compid=25


So the SL version has the new clocking system (confirmed in the brochure) and the SpeakerLink outputs.

Still curious to know what version the balanced outputs card are. Since no mention of them have been made in the brochure I assume the are the regular G68OAX.

I can imagine Meridian giving the 861v6 the premiere for new innovations, both marketing-wise as in the ability to have production keep up with the demand. I can imagine them giving the G68 SpeakerLink output, as this will have the customers focus on DSP loudspeaker. And I can only hope onces the 861/808 dust settles down, the G68 will also get the MMHR input.

For me as a G68 owner, having a G68SL with both MMHR and OA18 based balanced cards on the market will definitely make me put Meridian on my new processor short-list. The current G68SL was a real let down for me for not having the MMHR. So not much incentive there to upgrade to that.

G68J, HD621, ...
