Interesting Chris. I've three comments:
1) Concentrating on the positive (and I agree there are many - House of Flying Daggers sounded sublime last night...) is no comfort to the many 598/G9x owners who have paid many �000s for their kit and are still not able to play, reliably, discs encoded with the flagship audio format that Meridian has championed. In addition, I have sound drop-outs with DVD-Video navigation, but have been told that I must wait for the next "official" 598 software release. No Beta firmware for me...
2) A Product Manager makes a lot of sense - there comes a point where you can no longer develop and expand your product line based off technical leadership alone, particularly when you are heading full-on into other company's market segments (video processing and display).
3) Meridian has also recently appointed at least one Test Engineer - this is clearly a step in the right direction, but I hope this person is not expected to work miracles on his/her own, especially if testing has historically been performed by the Development team...
As an aside, I wonder how close to the mark I am with my musings on Meridian's organizational issues... I don't suppose I'll ever find out, but I wish them well anyway.
