Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems DSP7200 worth getting?

I would not rely on longevity from any manufacturers/marketers in the modern world. Even survivors (think of Apple with early iPads) move on leaving you with much reduced functionality. Meridian is a shadow of its former self anyway and has largely (but not completely I am glad to say) cut support for Sooloos. However, my Sooloos system, following various repairs, still works well and Meridian's speakers can be and are (by various people on the HHGTM) repaired because they use fairly standard components. Older displays can be problematic in getting replacements, but everything else is very maintainable (with varying levels of skill required). I am much more concerned about modern cars, where the electronics are so complex that I might easily be left with scrap metal if the electronics failed when spare parts are no longer available.

To encourage you: my original Meridian system from 1981 is still working very well and I have never had to do anything to it. I use it almost everyday and its sound is, to my ears and satisfaction, absolutely splendid.
