Yes, thank you Mike for organizing, and even if I didn�t get the chance to meet many, especially since I arrived late, it was good to finally put some faces on the pseudo (Bill, Mike and Kal Smith from Home Theater of Long Island).
It was especially interesting to me since I�m pretty new to the digital Meridian world. I had a 101B/103D for some years, but I just bough three DSP3100 and a G68D, following some Hitchhikers recommendations. So it was my first encounter with the 8K, and boy, it�s something I�ll remember.
On the other hand, I�m not sold on the Sooloos system. As mentioned to the Meridian rep, yes, I can see it as a bonus for the experience, but in terms of sound quality improvement, speakers - to me - are what will make most difference for the money. Ideally, you�d want both: the comfort of the best user interface with a stellar sound, but since I can�t afford it at Meridian�s level, I have to set up priorities.
