Following up on a topic broached in the earlier thread on G68 apodizing filters, I've been wondering if there was a Meridian alternative to my G68xxv (pre USB input) without all the video inputs which now are completely unneeded for many. I looked at the G61R which also has the advantage of not having an unneeded analogue radio tuner but the issue for me is it has no analogue outputs for a 2nd zone. What probably does fill the gap is a G68xxd seems to be an xxv without video inputs but with digital outputs and USB input. Although Meridian's literature says it was developed for the American market, I actually wrote Meridian several weeks ago to ask whether it was possible to get my G68 updated to an xxd. To date, I've had no response....
