Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems Meridian or Linn?

I know, how could you even think about it!

However, with the 'crippling' of the G95 (no DVD-A playback) I started to wonder if there was a better alternative - I'm not so dogmatic as to believe that Meridian is the be all and end all of home-cinema (you can see that I'm playing devil's advocate, here).

Enter the Linn Unidisc SC - plays everything but HD-DVD and Blu-ray (DVD-A, SACD etc.), and partnered with five-channel Chakra 100 watts per channel Class D amplification for similar money to a G95.

Sure, there's no radio or audio/video upscaling - but it maintains a semi-separates system in a small form factor, and it seems to have a good press. Likewise, the Chakra 5100 is capable of accepting Activ crossovers should I decide to buy partnering Linn loudspeakers.

But, does anyone have any 'horror stories' in their previous Linn ownership - and are there any Unidisc owners out there?

Don't flame me all at once. :p
