I have always loved the design and the system design and theory of the DSP8000, but I would like to have my fellow Meridian buddy to share with us, HOW GOOD?

Is the Meridian DSP8000 (non-SE) version compare to most of the other HI-END speaker in the price range, e.g. JBL DD67000, YG Acoustics, Wilson Audio, Magico etc., (I have heard all of these speakers, but I really want to know from the rest of the forum what everyone else thinks).

The fact is the design of the DSP8000 is nothing but amazing, but then again the fact that the DAC only goes up to 96KHz is another limitation e.g., we won't be able to play HD tracks, DSD files, etc., how do we over come that? any ideas?

And also what are the major difference between the 8000 and the SE upgrade (which is $20k the last quote I got) is it worth the upgrade?

Thank you everyone for sharing! but lets express your feeling towards the legendary DSP8000 on the forum.

Cheers!
Jacko
