Hello Asa,

I certainly agree that anything to enlarge the Meridian community would benefit us all. I hope that you are right that the F80 does this, but it seems to me as a stand alone unit it might be more of a "one of" sale to someone who is not already in the community. What I was looking for is a more entry level component system that lends itself to upgrading with the high end Meridian components.

But I am not a marketing expert, I was more just expressing my hopes, and I am keeping my fingers crossed.
