Absolutely agree with 3dit0r.

High End Munich - standout product Rockport speakers, in terms of inert cabinet they use cast aluminium, carbon fibre housing and a carbon fibre baffle shell. From Meridian - MDF.

You can’t just round corners and call it design.

I didn’t realise they were so small, basically a new 5200? But not so pretty.

I hear what VK says about underpricing but all that means is they may have been able to sell them for more. That’s just marketing not HiFi, not leading the market and innovating like the pedigree was. Marketing probably says if we charge X, we will sell x units and make x profit. People will buy Meridian on name alone for fashion or brand. Not audiophiles though. I don’t see anything new here, different names, same tech.

This looks like a tarted up DSP, nothing new, certainly not £60Ks worth. Unimaginative design or plain butt ugly.

For reference I am one of the faithful, 35 years worth. It pains me to say this. The old kit still performs excellently but as they drop product support and secondhand value slouch, repair prospects get fainter, it’s not a pretty picture. They may turn a profit, they have certainly turned a corner.

How about spikes? Everyone loves Gaia, Townshend are excellent, how about outriggers? Something to say we’re still on it.
