You can daisy chain DIN comms for front three speakers. For the rears, there are alternatives to an AC11. Have a look for a
Reviver. This is a third party device which would do the job you are after.
I was wondering about that... it seemed to be the simpler solution.
Must have been a marketing guys idea @ Meridian to sell more hardware?
The Reviver looks interesting... I might possibly go that route. CAT6 would be SO much easier to run and terminate.
At least there are solutions available out there... it seems like once Meridian cut the cord with the old style COMM's they just left everyone out in the wind. Buy our $1k box to mix & match or not have the benefit of being able to expand the system using the newer speakers.
At the prices this stuff is new, changing out everything is only an option if you have more money to burn than Midas...
