For what its worth, 'What Hi-Fi' give the F80 a huge thumbs up review.
So far the two reviews of the F80 I have seen could not even remotely be considered critical reviews. More importantly, I have yet to hear any claims that the F80 comes close to the sound of a $3000 stereo. The lack of tweak controls on the remote hint further that audio performance is not job #1, For that kind of money (my money)I expect to see people blown away by the unit either for audiophile reasons or ergonomic reasons. Instead it is more like polite admiration or industry talk for a lifestyle product carrying a major brand name. Where does Meridian's wizardy really play in this scenario? How much better is it than the Klipsch iFi or Focal Cub? Is it really just a very pretty boombox afterall?
