BB Wan,

You summarised it perfectly !

I started my long journey acquiring second hand Meridian kit, but I have also bought new items over the journey too. I have 3 sons that have grown up listening to Meridian their whole lives and as a consequence, I am still yet to sell a single Meridian item because most of it will all be passed on to them.

If you don't ever sell what you buy, and enjoy continued quality use from it, then there is no financial loss to consider. However, I really do need to move on some of my 500 series kit that is sitting idle so someone else much younger than me can start their own Meridian journey.

Cheers,
Steve M
