Well I had a Demo in Sevenoaks Kent of surround sound, It must have been a 565 with DSP's.
I was blown away and there started my journey from crap to Hi-Fi heaven.
From all my research I found Meridian had an integrity I was unfamiliar with anywhere else.
My subsequent experiance has proved this to be true.
Haveing no spare cash to buy new sent me on a quest to get the best I could for as little as possible.
10 years later, I am so pleased with the results.

My finance situation is now vastly improved due to due dilgence on my part and I would have no problem buying new in the future.
Meridian has been good to me when all I could do was buy 2nd hand. For this I hope to reward them in the future.
Dont discount 2nd hand buyers though as they do clear the decks for those to move on to the latest products.
We are all important in Meridians Food Chain.

Happy Xmas all, Chris smile
