Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems Adding speakers to a "stereo" system?

Well, I thought I'd revive this thread a bit to go over some interesting things I ran into this weekend...

As a refresher...this is how the system was set up before:



We had a close lightning strike here a while back...and the DSP5000HC speaker started crackling and hissing and so I shut it off and figured I'd get to it when I had time.

After figuring out it was going to be cheaper to just upgrade the damn thing instead of fixing it...I found a nice used DSP5200HC on eBay that was in piano black like my DSP7000's. I got it delivered Saturday morning and started the process of replacement. What started as an hour job quickly escalated into a couple hours on Saturday and then more time Sunday troubleshooting why I wasn't getting Comms from the master (L) to the rest of the gear. I carefully traced every cable run to make sure it was correct...reset the speakers multiple times and still no joy.

THEN, I went thru the Meridian Configuration Program and looked at what the program had done to my layouts and saw the problem! It had rearranged my signal paths for the Comms, now going from (L) Master, to Center (slave) and then Right (slave).

I reset the G68, arranged the Comms in the order it asked for, fired it up and I had my system back online and operational!

Watched Avatar last night...forgot how sweet this system sounds when everything works properly.
