Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems 808v6 with 5200.2 or SE

If you have 7200.2 you’re not allowed to use, that’s such a shame!

Yes, there is a huge, huge difference between 5200.2 and factory SE (with the clamp rings).

7200.2 are better in almost every way, but don’t quite have the last little bit of texture, timbre that the beryllium tweeter brings. They have more scale, punch and authority though, and sound more effortless.

I’ve listened to a lot of stuff out there in the last few years, and you would have to spend a lot more money (far more than 5200SE factory) to get anything better than either those or 7200.2

Have you actually tried 7200.2 in the room? Not being funny, but once they’re installed, they’re not much bigger to look at than 5200s. It’s only the depth which is significantly bigger, not the frontal aspect. Might be OK if you put them in there for your wife to see…?

If she accepted them in the room, you could sell 5200s and find a 7200SE upgrade kit? There’s bound to be some somewhere which are still available…
