Not sarcastic at all. I've done a heap of listening. Having said that fair point having made a Meridian commitment a long time ago it's been a heap of listening to 8k's...
I just find the biggest shift between the 72's and 8k's to be the imaging and positioning of every instrument. I find them staggering. That being said I do think room dependent. Agree 8k's aren't as "easy" in all rooms.
I don't think it's a regular comparison with "other speakers that price" as the DSP journey is a system, so if I'm changing amps, crossovers, dacs and speakers it's a chunk more upheaval than just speakers...
Agreed it's an absolutely massive chunk of change. And unfortunately having never worked as a premier league footballer or managed a career in banking this is a huge leap for me. It's my divorce present to myself. And having loved the M sound since I first heard it when I was 20 years old, and still getting blown away every time I listen to them, I'm quite looking forward to it....
