I assumed the expensive bit in the MC600 was the 6 zones but it looks like it's the disk drives.

That's very funny but Meridian's CFO has probably won the argument that there simply isn't enough profit to just sell the CD players and the cards and the Control workstations, and in order to make decent profit, must charge outrageous sums for the storage.

People that pay up at this level also expect exemplary service and transparent communication, two very big issues that I have come across in my enthusiastic adoption of M/S technology. Even simple issues with the ID40 card and my "B stock" Control:10 have not been resolved in months...I compare this to Sonos' support team and its service that it provides for systems that sell for much, much less.

I often reflect that my ID40 card cost more on its own than most people's entire stereo receiver systems.
