I think we can discuss the technical merits of adding analog Equalization after a Meridian 861, can't we? Independent of your ADA Preference. Meridian isn't really designed for 4 subs either.

It would be totally silly to try an ADA with Meridian DSP Speakers. Don't ya think. And it would probably take me a year to truely evaluate it. Took me years to really understand Meridian and years to understand Lexicon (yeah I'm a bit slow). I really have little doubt an ADA is a fine machine. But I'm completely satisfied with Meridian performance and have not had the urge to look beyond Meridian, just higher up the Meridian food chain. I have 13 DSP Speakers. And I love them all. And the 6K's can rock the house (as much as I would expect or want) with a CD hooked direct, with no other help.

Try bringing home a pair of 8K's some time.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
