While a in home audition may not be possible, visiting me to audition most of their speakers (DSP 8000XE, 8000SE, 7200SEHC 7200.2, 5200HCSL, 3200, DSW) 271, 818v3, 808v6 will give you a good idea of what Meridian offers. I am only 5 hours away and we could offer a steak dinner and some great beverages.
That is an intriguing offer! So, I made a deal with a dealer out in CO that everybody knows. He offered a new pair of Sopra 2's for my 802's and HTM1 D3. I am close to pulling the trigger, but they have a set of 72000.2 in white that I a drooling over. Since they are only 7k that would leave about 13k to improve other items. If I did this, I assume I can use my gear already here with the DSP's until I find the right Meridian preamp, etc.
