The 251 I believe will be quite stunning. I have connected up a 218 into a 258 - seamless performance. Have tried various speakers, from a £600 B&W to £16k Blade 2.

I guess the price point vs the 218 will also be interesting.

251 reminds me of a Naim product, under their now defunct Naimnet concept. I owned one of their servers, but the 251 equivalent was limited and arguable well before its time.
This time around, I think this one looks like a winner. Seems a snazzy aluminum box would go a long way with this offering as well.
Primary: MD600, MS200 (SpeakerLink to AES), Trinnov ST-2, Ayre V6-xe, Salk SS8 3x LRC.
Secondary: MC600 (whole house).
Zone one: 568.2, G57, MS200, Spatial Hologram M2SE.
Zone 2-6 (Awaiting assignment).

I expect the digital versions will be about the same? That's quite competively priced. Heck, the software package for the Trinnov is twice that much.
Main system - Sources (Kodi-HTPC, Vero 4k, FireTV, Sat) into Trinnov Altitude 32 (8-16) (+Roon), Trinnov Amplitude 8 amp & Vivid Audio (Giya G3, V1.5) and REL Stentor III speakers. Others: F80 + Raspberry Pi and other Pi systems.

I meant the Auro, Atmos, DTS:X software package for the Altitude (current price £2349 + another £575 for your calibration microphone)

Yep, Trinnov processors aren't cheap but neither are 7k and 8kSEs which would probably be in a system of that calibre. The point I was trying to make is that M's new interface adds very little to the cost % wise.
There's also the Altitude 16 to consider but this doesn't have digital outputs from what I've seen so it would be an analogue connection to the 271.

As much as I want a Trinnov/271 combination there's part of me that is objecting to (paying for) all those analog outputs (in both Trinnov and 271) which I wouldn't be using...
But, as has been mentioned, I guess the additional percentage cost is relatively low and maybe one day the flexibility would be useful.
Still hoping for an immersive Meridian processor - but it's beginning to look highly unlikely...
