While a long-time admirer of Meridian's DSP loudspeakers, for the moment I don't own them. I have some practicality restrictions that would require me to have on hand both DSP speakers and 7 channels of very high amplification.

In addition, I'd either need a pair of 861s or switch back and forth between digital and analog output. Besides, I can't afford a 7 channel setup of DSP5500s let alone a matched setup of 7Ks or 8Ks [Linked Image from softronix.com]

So at least for the moment, I'm not on DSP loudspeakers. I am however toying with the idea of 7x DSP-33s, plus a killer non- M subwoofer. This would certainly suit my budgetary constraints. Then I'd just need to have a high quality amp for other speaker reviews.

Cheers,
