I would not call all the 800 owners here dumb. If I could afford it I would own one!

This is the great thing about the market place, Meridian doesn`t do SACD, others do, and you can spend your money and take your chance.

I guess Mr 568 you would not be here if you were not a Meridian owner? So you already know the virtues of Meridian products.

Next time you`re at a major Hi-Fi show check to see if Bob Stuart is going to be there (Bristol is the one that Meridian go to in the UK in a big way), Bob is very approachable, he can explain far better than I the differences between SACD and DVD-A.

How many other MD`s of audio companies do you know that have published highly respected and quoted papers on acoustic theory.
