Sorry, but my opinion is that Meridian speakers having the drivers all built into them simply cannot handle high volume in a sustained mode---period!

I've had nothing but nightmares with D6000's / DSP6000's / DSP6000's 96/24 / DSP5000's / DSP5000c's---they simply all burn up their back panels, go into protective mode, blow tweeters, blow woofers, etc. etc. etc.

I've had new panels, old panels, whatever, and they all do the same thing.

Bottom Line: Meridian speakers sound and look great---but only if you can listen to them at 75 or below---anything above and they are useless!
