By this I mean they do not, to my knowledge, have Meridian Kit on Display or to demo last time I looked.

Perhaps we will see more of this idea. "Limited range dealers".
Good Hi-Fi shops who only want to sell the entry level Meridian equipment and see how it goes.

With the F80, Meridian must have changed their tune compared to ~ 2002. An East Anglican dealer told me they dropped Meridian due to being required to stock 40k ukp of gear to keep their dealership. I don't know if this is true, but this was around the time the number of dealers listed on the website shrunk. I can understand this would maybe offer a better experience in those dealers that remain, but it pushes the distances between dealers further apart.

The local dealer here, www.definitive.com, does a very good job. Too good, as discounts are nigh on impossible! Many Meridian products have launched in this store.
