While it may not be as audiophile as some topics, I can't help thinking that Meridian would get a lot of interest out of simply putting HDMI directly into some of their processors and enabling HDMI-CEC.

Even if they went down the Naim route and stuck a single HMDI ARC port on it would go a long way to making for a modern system which can integrate into a lounge.

M make stunning speakers, but using a G65+HD621 together is frankly messy and should be unnecessary in this day and age.

A proper HDMI capable processor suddenly means that a range of really fantastic speakers moves into view for a large audience of people who have to combine TV and listening into one area. CEC would mean they could simply turn on the TV and get great audio, hassle free. I'd say great WAF (should that be Spouse Approval Factor), but frankly I want that too. I don't want a bundle of remotes sitting around, especially when one is a funny shape...
