My Kef' R that MSRP at $3500 had a used resale of $1250! Didn't matter if it was a week old or a year old. My Beethoven's were the same story. I got them for 30% off and still lost 50% selling them used.
I think it was already suggested that Meridian doesn't integrate with other brands seriously shrinks their market. The woofers and mids in the DSP floorstanding speakers were sota 20-25 years ago.
Personally I'm thrilled I can own the speakers I dreamed about, but read a review about the new materials going into current drivers and it just makes our stuff look dusty.
