You know G997, we get it. For whatever reasons, you don't like Bob Stuart; you don't like what Meridian have done with Sooloos and you certainly don't like their DSP Speakers

And all of that is perfectly fine; we got the message more or less since your first posts 18 months ago.

But can I please ask you to refrain from flogging that particular dead horse and most particularly to refrain from combining your obvious prejudice against Meridian with quite obviously deliberately Misleading and Misjudged Comments.

Only a few days ago, you had Hewlett Packard going out of business (in spite of not knowing who HP were the day before?) and your constant harping comments appear to imply that Meridian are soon to follow them.

It's quite obvious to anyone with an evenly remotely open mind that Sooloos has made very significant steps forward on Database Design, User Interface and especially Sound Quality since they were acquired by Meridian.

Likewise your statement that Meridian's DSP Speakers would "be ignored" by many simply flies in the face of many here who have witnessed previous Meridian Virgins being more than impressed at various Shows and Events, some to the extent of becoming DSP Users.

In addition, you seem to forget that many here have been fortunate enough to experience and Audition many other Manufacturer's Equipment and Speakers at all Pricing Strata, including the equipment listed in your own signature, and still decided to pursue either a Partial or Full Meridian system.

And yet despite your Multitude of Negative Meridian posts over the past 18 months, Nobody has stooped to denigrate your Equipment or Speaker choices, even though we would be able to construct a Weighty Argument, that would be easily "backed up" by other Forums and Magazines out there who have have made similarly Negative observations about your own Equipment.

I think it's fair to say that most here recognize that there are many ways for an individual user to arrive at their own Audio Nirvana and that doesn't always mean everybody choosing the same equipment or Speakers.

So, you don't like Meridian ........... Fine ..........but Live, and let Live ............ Please .......... with a Cherry on Top smile
