My point is: it doesn’t matter. I still have my DSP5500’s and still like listening to them. Their current products are still remarkable, and even if resale value is unknown and there will be no updates or new model in the future, I would probably still buy a Meridian system.

I think a 818v3 with a pair 8KSE’s is a very envious system, it doesn’t get much better. Anywhere.
Just my unbiased 😊 opinion.

Agree with all of these excellent points. In my case, it is a pair of legacy DSP6000s that are over 20 years old, but after a full recap and new tweeters, these sound incredible, and yes I still enjoy listening to them!
