Guys, it was a pleasure to meet you all there, and sincerest thanks to Bob and the team, and Nick for organising the event.

A superb day on many levels. To see such enthusiasm and committment from everyone there was inspirational. The R&D team and technical support staff were all there along with marketing and senior management. There was input throughout the day from all of them, and despite already being a Meridian fan, I left feeling a strengthened bond with the company. (oh dear, I arrived as a fan and left as a Fanboy! laugh )

We were there from 11.00 to 5.00, and despite having over run by an hour (and the M staff having lives to get on with), I'm sure many of us would have happily slept over at the factory, ready to enjoy a second day !

The F80 is an astounding development. I'll be having one. "Ye canny change the laws of Physics, Captain" appears not to apply in this instance. Despite rotating the shield frequency of my wallet, resistance was futile.

The inwall speakers far exceeded my expectations. They are indeed a serious proposition, albeit with some differences to the DSP house sound, down to the ribbon tweeter. I could well imagine having these incorporated in a future set up (as an addition, not a replacement, for the big boys!)

The factory tour was fascinating, and the full theatre dem with 8ks front and rear, 7ks on sides and a 5500 centre was impressive indeed.

So the Q&A? I recorded the session, and will be submitting a transcript for approval before I post back here. But regarding that most contentious of questions...

"Do you really think we're stupid?"

Once again, thanks to all for the tremendous effort which went into really excellent day.

Cheers

George
