The D7K2's are a much better performing speaker than the D7k's (and also outperform the D5K2's)

There are defined reasons why the the D7k's had such a short life span (compared to typical Meridian DSP life spans)

Meridian weren't happy with its overall performance, which led reasonably quickly to it being replaced by its D7K2 successor. Bob Stuart's own comments about the D5K2 performance echo the above points
