I suppose that I was thinking more of a performance pack than full 7200XE development. I made the assumption that the tweeter is shared between DSP's which I realize may be erroneous. If it is shared, then presumably the 8000XE's tweeter could be used. If not, then that would be a much bigger development deal. I was also assuming that the DSP and amplifier modules internally shared architecture across the range such that modules developed for the 8000XE might also be applied to the lower models. Is this an erroneous assumption? Power supplies? Even if much architecture is currently shared, I recognize that packaging, integration and validation alone are perhaps more of an investment than Meridian believes to be justified. I generally view opportunities to reapply development work already performed positively given the significant costs presumably already expended.
