Well, I just bought a pair of M6's and an Audiocore 200 for my 12' x 12' open plan study. In this environment, they work quite well. In fact, in direct comparison with a pair of Epos mini-monitors, they shine.

I think they are intended for developing a more diffuse omni-type soundfield as opposed to a classic stereo pair with THX-like / highly directional characteristics. As such they may seem a little "soft" sounding in comparison, however that characteristic is easily corrected with the Audiocore 200, which provides the same controls for the M6's that the larger DSP speakers have in their head units.

I intend to set them up in my ITU 5.1 room which uses a G68XXD in conjunction with a BAT VK6200 and a full Vandersteen-based surround system, and compare them to Vandersteen's Quatro speakers which are quite competitive with Meridian's 7200. I expect they will compare quite well, and I will report my observations here.

Side notes:

1) These speakers are now selling in the used and demo. market in the US for about $ 3000.00 USD. At this price, they are a very good buy, in fact maybe a best buy. They are also very cool looking - kind of like fuzzy artillery shells.

2) They are making a believer out of me for the soundness of the Meridian DSP approach - they are VERY smooth and coherent.

3) They seem to be very sensitive to power issues - they do not like to come on BEFORE the Audiocore 200 - they blow fuses fairly easily. A switched power strip seems to be called for. Not sure if the bigger Meridian speakers have the same issue. I recommend stocking up on T5AH250 ceramic fuses for when the power goes out and comes back on unexpectedly.
