Nice to read all the love for the 7000s. I was at the hifi show somewhere when Meridian was launching the 7ks with the fancy new cabinet construction. I liked the look of them then but fairly quickly went off the aesthetics but the 'better than 55s' sound & the bargain price makes them a very attractive legacy product.
