Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems Will Meridian survive?

It seems to me that the main motivation for this thread is our common concern that Meridian continues its success so that our preferred supplier will continue to service our significant investments.

It further seems to me that some of the criticism and critique directed at Meridian is motivated by our concern that the company that has provided the best product for us continues to keep our systems current with the developing technologies.

It comes out as the tail wagging the dog, but it seems that by suggesting what Meridian should do from our outsider position, we are basically doing the only thing that we are able to, to safeguard our interest.

To add my perspective, I find the most significant advantage of Meridian the all digital path to the speakers. I find that fundamental premise to be a head and shoulders technically superior concept to any other process on the market. Yet for a new comer to enter this realm, it is a hugely expensive proposition, unless one starts second hand, and even then it is not what most people would consider affordable.

In this economic depressed climate I cannot comprehend why Meridian would expand their marketing effort to upper end department stores that really do not encourage the new Meridian customer to enter the DSP world. I would suggest that Meridian dramatically expanded their customer base in their core competency by providing a very affordable (made in China if necessary) entry level complete DSP system, that one could, if one choose, upgrade one piece at a time all the way to the 800 series and the ultimate of the audio world(IMHO), the D8ks.
