Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems To DSP8000 owners : if you had an infinite budget, would you upgrade....?

A lot of speakers (and different amps like McIntosh & Jeff Rowlands powering them) came and left me in the past few years.

From JM Lab Mezzo Utopia, Wilson 6 to 7, McIntosh XRT30s and Acapella Violons MkIV, somehow, Meridian DSP8ks gave me the best "overall" performance satisfaction. Of course, there are (and will be) costlier and better performance brands and models, but so far, the DSP8ks seem to hold my attention (except for the itch if I should go the speakerlink version from my 2+ year old model?).

Maybe it's due to the "one-brand" voicing but to me, today seem to be the best part of my hifi journey where each day, I come home from work, switch on the Sooloos and I am done and enjoy the music. The TT combo seem to be a "chore" (and even putting in a CD to the 808.3 too) when compared to ease of play of the Sooloos and the music coming out of the DSP8k seem just so right.

To me, it's the speaker to stay for a long time, and if there's a change, it'll be the "SpeakerLink" version (worth the extra monies??) or something entirely new down the road - from Meridian of course.
