Wonderful day out. Many thanks to Nick (ncpl) for liaising with Meridian/Bob to make this happen.

For those that weren't there, yesterday was piggy-backed on to three days of dealer presentations. Consequently, we had all of the royalty in town including Bob, Alan and several of the top brass from the States.

The F80 is the single most astonishing audio product I have ever come across. Not because it's the ultimate in high fidelity, but because it simply sets out to achieve the very best within the confines of an "impossible" set of physical design parameters. What it achieves is quite astounding. Your first response is to think that it defies the laws of physics, but then you realize that what Bob and the team have done is to push the envelope of what is possible within the those laws.

Put it this way - I play the sax and one of the demo pieces would have convinced me (with my eyes shut) that there was a real sax in the room.

Meridian Audio are so far in front, it's amazing!
