I stand by my view that using a product as a demo in an instruction manual that hasn't been manufactured for years is an odd decision. Why not show how to connect the G65 to legacy DSP's then? Certainly a hell of a lot more of them vs the G55. They then go on to tell you that "An ideal choice is the Meridian G55 5-Channel Power Amplifier." Doesn't that sort of encourage the buyer to seek out a used one? Seems to highlight gaps in the product offering. They don't even use their own CD player in the demo, they use an Oppo blu-ray.

Beyond that, I do also find it interesting that in the manual, none of the setup demos show how to set up an eight channel setup, just a five. I think that is pretty telling of what M thinks the target is for the product.

I think its a great product and one that M needed, so don't take my comments as anything but curiosity. Also, I used to own a G55. Was great, if only it had a little more juice. I think its one of the great 5-channel amps.
