Well that's a good point Daniel - Although some improvements are made in the A2 like HDMI 1.3 and a much sleeker look; For my evaluation purpose, the XA1 works best with the analogue outputs to the Meridian (no HDMI on M- yet... hmmm smile )

Also, I'll be feeding a Lumagen in front of the projector so the 1080p A2 out isn't a big deal -

continuing Daniel's lymeric - second verse

there was once a young man named Mark-
who thought us to be in the dark-
he came christmas day-
all willing to pay-
to hear us change tune and say Hark!
