Hi Cliff, good to talk to you.

The Trinnov is a magnificent processor with superb sound. I have just been very impressed with the Meridian 861v8 and its particular brand of hi fidelity. What I want from a processor is excellent sound quality and consistent ease of use.

The Trinnov seems unmatched for Dolby Atoms etc. As far as music goes there does seem to be quite a bit of tweaking involved and these days I'm more of a plug and play kind of guy with something more established.

The Meridian seems a better fit for myself with no Atmos aspirations and a desire to keep things as straightforward as possible whilst still enjoying the wonderful fidelity of the system.
