Reminds me of discussions both here on HH and with various senior chaps at HQ about how cool it would be for M to make a soundbar device. Almost everyone in the group I was with said they would buy one for use with a TV and we all knew of friends and family that were ok with soundbar as an idea even if they weren't ok with hifi per se.

Unfortunately, the conclusion from around the table was that it would never fly; not worth doing, too expensive, never have a spec that would satisfy enough of the market, etc. Shame as a Meridian sound bar using some of the small tech found in the later smaller DSP devices would no doubt sound very capable.

Roll the clock forward a couple of years and here is a sound bar that is 192 capable, MQA capable and is even Roon-Ready. I can't see anywhere in the spec that it is Sooloos ready though so how might a Sooloos user get MQA to it would remain a bit of a puzzle.

Opportunities missed I think....
