One major problem, as we have seen recently, is that most reviewers are stuck in the dominant (analog) model of reviewing an individual component in the context of a reference system of their own choosing.
True and, unfortunately, it reflects the dominant view of the readership. Another problem, at least for me, is that if I had a complete Meridian system (I have just the 861), it would require Herculean efforts to test/evaluate non-Meridian components in a familiar context. After all, a fully digital Meridian setup is the ultimate HTIB. whistle

Yep.

A full Meridian digital setup is a closed system. To use DSP loudspeakers as the reference requires a complete analog setup as well.

I did like the concept of the G46 DSP box that didn't come to fruition. This would allow you to use the same A3x0 loudspeakers in a traditional context or in a DSP context.
