The cost of the F80 at �1500 does sound steep, but then, how may of us have spent ���� on Meridian kit when a better paper spec'd alternative comes in at a few ���.

Put the F80 against ���� worth of Meridian kit, as a second/alternative/luggable piece of kit, the F80 is a very desirable alternative and, except for critical listening, its going to run ���� kit very close.
