From what I remember, the HDMI input is not included as Meridian deemed it detrimental to sound quality and so developed a separate box for the duty.
If HDMI is required you should consider Meridian as a two box solution and budget accordingly.

No 18 in the Hall of fame smile I have simple tastes; I am content to settle for the best:
GIK monster bass panels, rear wall. QNAP TVS 471i3. Roon into DSP5200SE via 210/ 218 zone... Explorer 2. Bluesound Pulse 2, Mini & Flex. 596v1, 518, Foxsat HD, Sony BDP, Pioneer 5090, 2 Chromecast's for LRB videos. MS200 to F80 for a Roon zone
