So is MDMS the new M black? I will refrain from speculating what the use of the word "media" could mean for the old black Z0: 861v8+ID41+Roon on a QNAP, Naim NAP300, Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario Z1: Arcam AVR-450, Oppo BDP-103D, SkyQ, Apple TV, Kuro KRP-600A, Sonus Faber Guarneri Memento & Cremona Center M speakers, Martin Logan Descent-i Sub, 2 B&W wall speakers Z2-6: Roon controlling MC600 Zones into Parasound amps to B&W ceiling speakers

So I wont be surprised. Thoughts, Chris No 18 in the Hall of fame I have simple tastes; I am content to settle for the best: GIK monster bass panels, rear wall. QNAP TVS 471i3. Roon into DSP5200SE via 210/ 218 zone... Explorer 2. Bluesound Pulse 2, Mini & Flex. 596v1, 518, Foxsat HD, Sony BDP, Pioneer 5090, 2 Chromecast's for LRB videos. MS200 to F80 for a Roon zone

I always thought it sounded like a laxative, but let's not go there... Sooloos, Roon, G series (with LPS upgrade), 800 series (with LPS upgrade), HD621, AC200, Prime and PS, DSPs old and new. Purdeys, Moke, Leica, 'Blad. Only the best.

It's just an unpleasant sort of a word! Sluice! I'm much happier seeing it dropped forever and rebranded as Meridian. Cheers George
