it really bothers that in 2020, Meridian will happily sell you a brand dedicated surround sound processor that costs over £3000 that has no HDMI inputs. Then if you go and spend another £2000 on a UHD722 to get those inputs, you still don't have a system which can decode truehd or dts:MA (never mind atmos or anything more fancy) and it can't even accept a 7.1 input. this is just baffling. I know it's a niche market and they don't have the clout of the denon/marantz conglomerate but we're talking well over £5000 for what is essentially a 5.1 processor with no codecs invented in the last 15 years...

and are Meridian any more niche than trinnov? datasat? krell? lyngdorf?
