Right on schedule the "Director of Product Management" called me from Atlanta. The Director, a man who is passionate about the Meridian product line, stated up front that he had read this thread, he understood my point of view, and he was sorry that I was not satisfied.
well, that's an excellent start. very good that he should ring up and also that he should have read this thread (hi director of product management, Meridian atlanta). some good service there.
So it looks like it is option 1 or 2. Keep the Meridian and live without 7.1 (does it really do much?)or Go to a competitor because 7.1 is a make or brake necesity for me. Right now I am leaning toward keeping the Meridian.
if you like the rest of the system then it's a damn fine home cinema and although it may fail one of your requirements it's unlikely to be a huge difference I guess.
Meridian, Meridian, Meridian. Why... Why.. Why is there no discrete 7.1 in the G68. Please track down the employee that made that decission and flog him.
you said he didn't agree with you? I'm guessing he kept tactfully silent on the issue?
as I said before, I think the lack of 7.1 discrete digital input on all but the latest 861 is a "dirty little secret" of the Meridian processor line, and if you're listening Meridian, people are clearly getting confused and disappointed with your product. the last thing a luxury manufacturer wants is people starting off disappointed with your products.
and if you're in a mood to start fixing things, I (we probably) have a list of things you could/should sort out, just ask...
Gary, really glad you got sorted out, now you just have to make the decision! let us know how it goes.
