KIS, why dont you just go Listen to the F80?
With an open mind of course.
I will on my next visit to the city, although the reviews so far pretty much confirm what I suspected.
Hi-Fi - Let's get one thing straight: this unit isn't a sonic replacement for decent separates kit of the same value. It is, however, a brilliant portable system that even the most purist audiophile can listen to for hours without distress.I'll do this with an open and objective mind of course. And I encourage all to do the same - even those who might be overly enthusiastic about anything Meridian makes.
Ferrari choose Bose over Meridian for their $250,000 612 Scaglietti,
Actually it looks like Bose choose Ferrari for the demo. Where did you read that they were chosen by Ferrari?
