With QNAP X69 servers with WD Red drives running to about �500 for a 6TB twin drive or somewhere under �1000 for a 12TB with four drives making storage available at acceptable market rates.

I'm curious as to what you feel would be an acceptable target price point for a Control:15 replacement, a touch screen monitor with Core ability but no storage?

Should it have audio end zone abilities such as RJ45 & SPDIF or is the MS200 enough?

I don't see Meridian diluting the market need for the ID40/ID41 option as the state of the art but perhaps something between that and the MS200?
