Too bad for those of us who were already vested in Sooloos...
I wonder who the first tier audio companies are? Certainly not Sooloos prior to the M acquisition.

Sooloos was about the indexing, cataloging and accessing of a CD library at blazing speeds. They built hardware and software but it was not HiFi. Their model was and is beautifully executed but the output was computer audio quality at best. You would never have had the sound quality of the MS600 if Sooloos was left alone. Who is to say that they would have even survived?

I'm not defending or apologizing for Meridian, but your acrimony towards them is a little over the top.
