1) If a true M80 replacement arrives in January, the exercise that we went through (led by Rick from Audio Images) will have been utterly pointless given the lead times on Meridian products. If Meridian does not produce a standalone DSP speaker solution for use as a non-critical Sooloos zone, I will be surprised. So I don't expect this product to have a radio or spinner.

2) There may be a running production upgrade to the G61SL and G68SL, but I don't see a big song and dance over such a product.

3) I guess this will happen if there is enough demand for it (which I'm not convinced there is).

4) IMO, Meridian should release apodizing for the 800 (and G9x), but I'm not holding my breath.

5) DSP line-up seems pretty complete at the moment (Sooloos zone not withstanding), unless they are planning to add an ID40 into the speakers "for the ultimate in audio quality" ( wink ); I don't think so though.

6) It looks pretty obvious now that there will never be hardware upgrades for the G series, so the MS600 is the top end Sooloos solution in the G series architecture.

7) Source line-up seems good.

8) Perhaps we'll finally get a two-channel processor with MRC?
