Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems Meridian Special Edition Loudspeakers

Well the argument about file/HD size issues has waned somewhat with the advent of the non proprietary storage (though I hesitate to mention it�). Notwithstanding HQ's view on 96 vs higher, there's a market out there that thinks biggest is best. They may have done some work to keep NY (Pono) onboard, or was that why it fell down?

Hi,

It may help but at our 1st event it will be all about the SE Range, with a Q & A...

Details below

In depth technology insight on the Special Edition Loudspeakers Presented by Richard Hollinshead Meridian's Director of Engineering.
We will then host a Q & A Session which will allow you to ask either Richard, Paul Webb or any of the Meridian West London Staff.

This is inevitable IMHO - as I've posted before. The world has moved on from 24/96 regardless of what we all might think about SQ above this level of sampling.

Sorry if this is not the topic - just following on from the subtle hints dropped by a couple of senior members in this thread!

Two subtle hints, nope. I see one tongue in check comment from Nick. As for VK's comment on wider analogue bandwidth, let's not forget that 96/24 is considered hi-res.

But why let facts put a dampener on wild wishful speculation. I just knew Jon's comment would spark a raft of this again.

Would I like M to support 192K, yep, not because I think it would improve SQ but it would stop (for a little while at least) the naysayers complaining about the lack of it and more importantly Meridian might sell a few more units in the Market. Which of course is good for all of us.

Happy Days,
Carl

Sorry

Actually this was not the point I was getting at.

Such cynicism in one so young.

Gushing write up in Stereophile on the DSP8000SE demo in the US.

Hey they managed to get a picture of Bob dancing!

Gushing is right! I am sure that will prompt more than a few upgrades/sales! Must say, like the color of the 8's. Will be interesting to hear how the whole SE lineup sounds. Which represent the biggest change/upgrade? Am I correct in assuming that its been a while since the 8's have seen an update?

It was a great review, they are learning to market to a more upmarket crowd (simpler message, updated comps) but $80K/pair is rarified air...anyway, see you in NYC!

Interesting that it was the reviewer's first listen to a DSP system. That means he was not distracted by any comparison to pre-SE models.

The room looked pretty big so it must have suited the 8kSE very well.

Are those the same blue pair that did the rounds in the UK I wonder ?

Along these same lines, are the DSPs on display in the US roadshow now considered final production spec or is there still room for improvement? I realize customers have already purchased and received theirs. I seem to recall that a few recent SE demos were still done with pre-production models.
