While a in home audition may not be possible, visiting me to audition most of their speakers ( DSP 8000XE, 8000SE, 7200SEHC 7200.2, 5200HCSL, 3200, DSW) 271, 818v3, 808v6 will give you a good idea of what Meridian offers. I am only 5 hours away and we could offer a steak dinner and some great beverages.
