Thanks Chris, I was just trying to check that on the Stansted website.

Cheers

Have fun guys !!!

If anyone is travelling any distance, this web site is great for traffic info. You can basically zoom into all the traffic signs, speed restrictions and holdups on the motorway amd significant other roads - ie A1(M). It appears to be official Highways Agency.

Have fun there guys, big shame I can't make it!

Cheers

Wonka must be showing them all kinds of delights right about now. I`m upset I couldn`t put my name down to attend. Look forward to hearing how the tour went.

A great day, for those who missed it, thanks to all at Meridian for a thoroughly interesting day.

Regards

You beat me to it - thanks Nick for coordinating to, and great to put faces to so many HH names too!

Fantastic day - The M ship was very hospitable and accommodating. It's not everyday that you get a personal demo of an unreleased product from Bob Stuart!!

Thanks again Nick for coordinating this! It was great fun and good to meet up with everyone!

From the centre of the chocolate universe in Bournville (Cadbury's) to the centre of the known audio universe in Huntingdon was achieved via the worm-hole known as the M6 via the trans-spacial hub of the M1 onto the A14 in little more than 1.5 hours.

There we all met the Ancients (no, not Bob Stuart) - a technologically superior race of humans that have achieved a higher plane of audio and video existence (if you're a Stargate fan, you'll know what I'm talking about).

Even so, the hospitality was as you'd expect from our hosts - and I was certainly very sad to see the day draw to a close. Sadly, no discounts were on offer. We had an excellent Q&A session, a tour around the factory, listened to �130,000 worth of DSP8000,s, DSP7000's and DSP5500 - plus saw some jaw-dropping projection - and a demonstration of the Meridian in-wall loudspeakers. Plus, we all came away with a goodie-bag of posters, polo shirt, the history of home audio - and a crackerjack pen.

As for the F80 that we all saw and very definately heard....

Please can someone drop me a PM about F80?
Dod I say please?

Just got back home after a truly memorable day at Meridian HQ.

Fantastic to meet so many fellow Hikers, and to put faces to (pseudo)names. Particularly interesting that George (Mr Meridian) was about 25 years younger than I'd imagined and seemed blissfully unaware of his iconic status on the forum!!

The Mothership was incredibly hospitable, and wheeled out all the big guns for the occasion, which was humbling and very gratifying. I certainly felt that they really take this Forum seriously, and notice what goes on here.

As GMT said, getting a personal demo by Bob, of an unreleased / unannounced product - in his office! - doesn't happen everyday. I'm not sure how much we can say about this but the person who reported on another thread that

"I just heard from an excited dealer friend that the F80 is an amazing innovative product and that we will all want to own one as soon as we see it..."

was not wrong.

Many thanks to Nick for co-ordinating this, and to Bob and everyone at Meridian for a fantastic day.
