I would have thought that Meridian gear could be for the dedicated enthusiast who may save up for years for a piece of kit rather than it being part of the annual expenditure (my D600s are 22 years old). And the very well off or as a retirement treat and such like.

Couple of points, second hand gear can be obtained pretty reasonably and then still has value on resale, if times get tough, or the wife finds out. Price lists, I doubt too many pay list price.

I would have thought luxury brand is exactly the right place to be right now, smart marketing, the sector least likely to cut back spending.

One thing M should consider, is trying to maintain second hand market values. Not rocket science.
