how many here would spend �1,500 (minimum IMHO) for a Meridian Badged Oppo based player
I might. As you know Ronnie; I've been thinking about buying a more upmarket BD player of late so if I did take the plunge (& you didn't talk me out of it!) & Meridian had one on offer I'd almost certainly buy one.
Better that than a Meridian DVD player.

Cinema: Meridian 271, 3 x DSP640 (behind screen), 4 x DSP320 (in-ceiling), 4 x DSP3100 (surrounds), 2 x AC12 (interface). 2 x Perlisten D12s subs, Lyngdorf MP40 processor. DT 145" 2.35 AT screen. Sony VW870 projector & S-T lens, Lumagen Radiance Pro.
