I'm not sure about the cost element. This gear is extremely expensive anyway. Would it really make a lot of difference to add vibration damping, improve wire dressing etc.

Alternatively, Meridian could just supply the external support "in the box" as part of their equipment and provide this performance improvement. It would probably be easier than spending huge amounts of time developing, for example, apodising filters.

+1 from me on this. I like the way the MD and MS600 work but their build quality is poor. I can see the light behind the power button via the gap between the case and the actual button. If you pay a premium price then you expect a solid build. Check out the build on the Aurender or the lumin. M is falling behind in my view.
