Most responses to the announcement of the SEs have concentrated upon the new tweeters. This is understandable. Over a number of years people here have criticised the standard-issue tweeters, including a lengthy discussion with a Magico fan. The counter argument was that Meridian know these tweeters inside out and enhance their performance with DSP, custom-tuned to their characteristics.

However, what may well prove more important to most owners, and the development of new products, is the introduction of new oscillators. These helped transform the performance of recent 800 series products. If they became more widely applied, and were used in combination with EBA, then Meridian could have outstanding products at non-SE prices.
