John K., thanks allot for doing this.

Let`s hope Meridian is faster with the quality check of your Q&A`s, than they are answering emails.
VirusKiller: In reply too your comment:
"Bob is under no obligation whatsoever provide this Q&A "service" to us"...It`s not a "obligation" to answeer customers questions of course, but there is something called "service". When you invested 20 000$ (!) in a audio product, it would be nice too know if the company are working on upgrades so the product can be used with TODAY`s standards. There is nothing on their website, they don`t answeer emails and their suppliers know nothing (they don`t even get any answers). Your best hope is too either sell or keep wishing for a upgrade (while you take advantage of yesterday`s sound/picture formats). In a world of new standards every year, information and upgrades/development is critical too keep customers.
I am very found of Meridian products, but they should be better at giving information too their customers. Just a small notice from time too time on their website would be a huge step forward.
A bit of topic, but I feel it needed too be said.
