Hi Al,

I can give you some preliminary comments.

I was told in Bristol that the MC200 will sound infinitesmally better than the C15 which is my comparison. In my opinion the Meridian G series spinners sound just better than the C15 so the MC200 SQ should be darn close to the G spinners.

Aside from the sound quality, I got totally hooked on a server and would never go back to spinning discs.

I understood from Bristol that the MS600 would make a noticable improvement in SQ, like going from a G series spinner to an 800 series. And you can do this upgrade at any time later.

IMHO the MC200 is the most bang for the buck at this time from M so you shouldn't regret this step. Given that it is easy to upgrade later if you choose to, it should be a long term investment.

Aloha,
