If we’re in it for the music Meridian DSP second hand is as good a value as I could find.

If were in it for the hobby of building a hifi system then DSP systems from any brand don't make much sense.

The SpeakerLink pair of 8k's I bought had good tone, great imaging and soundstaging with ultimate bass capability for my room and the upgrade to SE offered more air and resolution that I can appreciate when comparing to some of the latest headliners.

I've seen 7200SE's for $10k on AG and for most rooms that would be plenty.
