I've just bought a Control 15 unit.. but thanks to the forum I've discovered there are potential sound quality issues that simply shouldn't be there on a Meridian branded product that costs nearly οΏ½5000. [quote]
Yes, οΏ½5000 - that's a shed load of cash!
The C15 sounds great, so I don't think it is fair to say there are sound quality issues with it.
What you have become aware of is that it can be improved upon but adding a MS600 (or using an ID40 card)
It is like all HiFi esp. High-End equipment a case of diminishing returns.
Did you expect the C15 to sound as good as 808.3 which is double the price?
I think circa 5K is a lot for the C15 as well but hey I bought one too.
It's taken days of surfing to understand that the HP Touchpad app isn't a Sooloos system controller. The question I want answering from the marketing people at M is why not? I want the full Sooloos interface on a dogs dangly touchpad to control my system - why can't I buy that?
It took us a while to work that out as well, it's not very clear at all. I think Meridian will improve the iTouch app, I think they have to, but like all thinks from Meridian we will have to wait a while for it.
Why can't the multi-channel fans stream 5.1 content?
I know, it would open up another sales stream for M. At the HH2 open day at M-HQ I (and others) ask about 5.1 support an was told "we can't comment, but we are not stupid".
Why can't Meridian match an Oppo disk player?
Economy of scale I guess, I was hoping for a 800D Bluray upgrade, but I donοΏ½t think it will ever happen. However, M did produce the excellent HD621 that lets any from 568.2MM to a 861v6 hook up a BD player.
Think domestic - lets have wireless DSP speakers and wireless components and banish the miles of Cat 5/6 cabling for good (it is 2011 after all) we've got dual band N nowadays, is it really so complicated?
Wireless to processor should be fine, wireless to DSPs would bring a whole heap of inter channel timing issues that would be difficult in the extreme to solve with LAN technology.
