Meridian's sound and picture at Bristol was the best I can remember. I was lucky enough to attend a demo run by Bob. One delight was a Schubert sonata where the piano and viola sounded incredibly realistic. Maybe not surprising for Meridian but an amazing contrast from everything else at the show.
The video was superb too. They gave first class demos of HD and incredible DVD results in 2.35 aspect ratio from the MF1. This company just goes on getting better and better. Unfortunately I may need to save up for the projector :-(
No sign of F80 though.
