Hi Joel,

Thanks, yes the conclusion is WAIT. Even if I have gone a touch backwards in sound quality - and I intentionally haven't done an A - B comparison, the fun, convenience and incentive to use my system 10 times more is adequate compensation at this time.

Hi VK,

Glory Halleluiah! Thanks to my education at HH2 I understood what you said. It now comes down to me to keep reading the forum and figuring out what I want and WAIT for Meridian to give me an option. Thanks.

Hi Andy,

I am not able to give you any technical advice, but I can assure you, like all those who have gone before me, that once you go down this path you will be delighted. Good luck.

Aloha,
