As an example of the above approach, consider the link below to the B&W Zepplin

B&W Zeppelin

Notice what it doesn�t have����

** No CD Player

** No DVD

** No Bluray

** No HDMI in or out

** No Radios

** No Hard Disks

** No Screen

** No Subwoofer Out

** Almost no Interface buttons of any kind

** I�m not even sure it has a Volume Control knob!!!!

And yet these are all things that we have asked Meridian to include in their equivalent of the Zeppelin

IMHO, Meridian could do a lot worse than follow the �Functionality� lead of B&W here�����and then simply add

a) The substantially better (and even improved for 2012) sound of the F80��..including Apodizing 24/96 playability

b) Ability to act as a Sooloos Zone

c) A new Allen Bothroyd design
