Having read the review of the 808.2 in Hifi News, and seen the video presentation by Bob from the Bristol show, it's clear that there are significant differences between the 808 and its .2 iteration. I have to conclude that either Meridian America are misinformed or are misinforming Wints1's dealer, or Wints1's dealer is misinforming Wints1.
FWIW the Hifi News review mentions the 808.2's architecture favours upgradeability; I don't know if the original 808 is similar in this regard.
Mark S I hope Meridian sent them an allready "Burnt-in " unite since they only had it playing for 3 days before the review! PerS
