Hi All,
I just thought I would begin a new thread here to engage with all you Meridian Enthusiasts!

I'm renovating my home Cinema space here in Portland Oregon.

It's been a journey for sure as to what I should do ... so much back and forth in terms of how to build the room and what speakers to go with.

The first question I had to answer was should I remain with Meridian or change it all ... This was a really tough one and one I went back and forth on. The other front running contender was Perlistens S series in wall speakers. I'm running a Trinnov Altitude16 with a Meridian 721 currently and just sounds phenomenal!!! 5 of my speakers are DSP5500 and considering their age sound incredible as rear / side surrounds / Center.

Honestly it could have gone either was as I've wondered about what another brand could sound like. Going Passive Vs Active speakers has also peaked my interest as the amp I would have gone for would have been the Trinnov Amplitude16. However, when it came to making the final call I decided to stay with Meridian! 🥳 I just LOVE the sound and the philosophy of how they are built and all engineered as one thing with SpeakerLink connections and each driver being individually amplified and controlled with DSP.

I've decided to go for 3 x new DSP750 for LCR. Why the In walls? I wanted to build them in a baffle so that I get a super clean installation. Lots of benefits with having them mounted into a baffle wall behind the AT screen. I wanted a speaker that could really throw out reference level sound output and should gain an additional 6dB output with the baffle.

Are there any people here with these in their system? Anyone experience these speakers first hand? Would be great to hear your thoughts.

I shall be running DSP7200SE and DSP7200.2 on rears and sides (Would like to pick up another pair at some point for the 9 speaker bed layer as well as an SE upgrade should one surface.)

I shall be then getting 4 new DSP320.2 speakers for my ATMOS channels. I would be curious to hear from anyone here if they have these in their systems how they sound?

I'm getting all the speakers from Bruce here on the forums who has been great over the years and so really stoked to follow the Meridian Journey!

I shall be building the room from the studs and so will be doing it right. I'm in the design phase at the moment and will share images here shortly.

This journey is a really fun one as I've dreamed about building a home cinema since I was a kid and have owned Meridian products now for around 20 years.
