i can say honestly that the product is not what i would have wanted or expected initially and i was there on the day. i can also say that i was gob-smacked by the sound that came out of it and once i had got over the initial shock of seeing a Meridian product based loosely on a 60's jukebox i started imagining where i could use it... lots of places!

my main disappointment was the lack of wireless/network connnections and the badge which i thought looked naff... (personal opinion only) but then i drive a jag!

i will still buy one though, perfect for listening too on a veranda in the south of france whilst enoying a beer or two.
