Meridian should address why they don't use such materials in their new products and more specifically why each driver is still preferred to the competition, and they have to use real words smile

Because they sound better.

It’s what you do with the parts, regardless of what they’re made of, which makes the real difference.

As Bob Stuart once said, to paraphrase, it’s easily possible to make a component which measures completely flat and yet sounds awful.
