....unless of course, if they have done their due diligence, and found out that previous owners have been frustrated by customer support (which explains the huge discount).
Pure_audio: You have a really interesting perspective on all this.
I had no idea that people only sold their Meridian gear when they'd become so upset with aftersales care and only sold it at really low prices 'cos everyone who'd heard the expression "due diligence" before would know not to touch with a long stick.
If stuff never sells on Audiogon, I'll be sure not to use in the future.
Thanks for the enlightenment.
PS - ...apparantly not enough Meridian kit has been breaking down (in the UK) recently (is this possible...the kit is crap isn't it ??), so, the boys on the fix-it desk haven't got much to do just now. I think that may be why I got my unit back so quick....as well as being on the take !!
