Hi. Started with large Pioneer receiver with Sony / SME arm. Bought the first Philips CD player then moved to Meridian 200 series and not looked back, having gone through two stages of 500's (565 and 568.2) and now moving to G series. All with DIY speakers (active using Dynaudio / Morel drivers). Now considering Meridian DSP's.
When you have time to really sit and listen it's great!
