Once you have heard poor imaging speakers like the B+W Nautilus 800 Signature you might think different of Meridian speakers [Linked Image from softronix.com]. The 8Ks were quite nice in Frankfurt. However, Meridians are not on my own list because of their price tag and I do know/have heard better for less money.
