Yeah, I don't quite get it. Even if Meridian charged "cost" or something to keep their customer base happy, in the long run it would pay off. Meridian wouldn't lose money or make money but they'd keep their customer and reputation of the 800 series up there. You think their customers will go out and buy another? They have managed so far todo it with 861 but I don't understand why they have not with 808. Meridian is great keeping stuff up do date where they can. But if it's costly they don't. But I think it costs them more in customers AND dealers losing faith.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
