After reading the 1st Meridian post I got really Not pleased; the 2 post was
But there are still some problems with product quality checks
Their quality control should be better in this pricerange ....own experience with all of my 800's, DSP 8000.2 & DSP 7200HC been faulty - just to name a few.
My dealer has always made this up to me - thats why I still have Meridian.
I feel that in order for Meridian to "believe" ME I have to prove that it's not user fault and get other users as witnesses before they might believe me.
It took M over 1 year to believe me that my HD621 was faulty - but only after I got to borrow my dealers demo HD621 -

that they didn't get back I just returned mine - the faulty one.
Software Updates:
Meridian is there already, they no longer post the latest firmware updates - It's only if you need it you might get it from the Dealer - they are of the opinion that a hard reset will fix most problems not a firmware update!
My replacement HD621 came with version 1.0.9 Meridian latest official update is the 1.0.8 posted in February 2010.
ref Meridian Post 2 the only release major updates .... at least I like that.
Looking forward to the "major" update post 2 talkes about
Just my 2 cents
