[quote=VirusKiller]The Meridian AC12 is a luxury product, like this $450 Yves Saint Laurent travel adapter.  ![[Linked Image from graphics8.nytimes.com]](http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2010/05/23/t-magazine/23remix-ysl/23remix-ysl-tmagArticle.jpg) Travel adapter? I thought it was a new WBT power cord connector.  Kal

There is no room left in a Control:10 for a PSU, also it moves some of the heat away from the main unit. (The PSU runs hot and the Control:10 runs even hotter - would hate to add both together without the noise of a fan)

I understand what you're saying, but there are FAR more powerful computers, with more Powerful Processors and GPU's and these Devices have integrated PSU's, and usually within much thinner and more elegant chassis
Anyway, it is what it is I guess................

And then People want to upgrade a power supply as it hinders optimum sound quality........I guess you cant win whatever you do, Cheers Chris 
No 18 in the Hall of fame I have simple tastes; I am content to settle for the best: GIK monster bass panels, rear wall. QNAP TVS 471i3. Roon into DSP5200SE via 210/ 218 zone... Explorer 2. Bluesound Pulse 2, Mini & Flex. 596v1, 518, Foxsat HD, Sony BDP, Pioneer 5090, 2 Chromecast's for LRB videos. MS200 to F80 for a Roon zone

Sorry Chris,
but if your F80 had a Separate Power Brick, think about the limitations that would impose on its placement and usability
Likewise, the PSU's are all integrated for all Meridian 500 Series, 800 Series and G Series
So, I don't think Sooloos are leaving the PSU Exrernal for that "PSU Upgrade" reason

I take your point Ronnie, as Meridian would do power supply properly. Even so, I still have heard talk of people upgradeing in 500 series. A Faulty power supply sends many an 800 unit back to base, so maybe they dont want Sooloos having these return issues and all the costs involved 3 years down the line whan a new brick can be dispatched quickly if needed. Cheers Chris
