Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems No new firmware update

So that's a fair statement. I have mostly been a second-hand buyer, my DSP speakers, G68 and 568, and indeed Land Rover were second-hand, but I *think* my HD621 was new... it's been a long time since I sold it, never mind bought it. But then again, the second-hand buyers allow the new buyers to buy new stuff...

Right now, I should be looking at some great second-hand bargains of all the new stuff they put out 5 years ago. but if I bought a G65, how different would the experience be than the G68 I used to have? I'd have to re-buy a HD621 and the processor would be functionally almost identical. I mean it was a great processor and probably the best sounding system I've owned, but time has moved on.

I'm in a much better position to become more seriously invested in M these days, and I gave some serious consideration to both a new system or a better second-hand one but I don't think it's right for me.

I think with M it's all about the speakers. The speakers are the big star and I enjoyed mine and I've listened to several others in the range and they've all been good. The other products don't seem (to me) to get anywhere near the same attention.

I was never a big fan of vinyl and the whole digital pathway thing struck a chord with me and still does. There is so much opportunity in the digital space to do very cool and innovative things and M has a history of doing exactly that, which is why I think I find this current lack of any progress all very disappointing.

Absolutely! I would love to see them do well and they've got the experience and talent to do well but direction and strategy seems to be lacking.

But I guess I'm not a product director for a major audio firm, so what do I know?

My comments concerning equipment comments versus owned comes from all avalable information in their signature lines which is not conjecture. It would be conjecture had I directed equipment comments at you as your signature line offers no description but a picture posted by you does tell part of the story.

Why would I need to step up to DSP8000, as they have not been discussed in this thread besides when I mentioned what others have paid to have MQA. You make the statement that M has not upgraded their flagship speakers, did you forget about the DSP8000SE upgrade kit. I can tell from the photo of you system you have not purchased one.

that's an old picture. but keep up that conjecturing.

i was being facetious re: you stepping up as function of you criticizing people's opinions based on what "investment" they made.

i'm bowing out of this now. happy new year to all.
