I have heard the latest Meridian SOTA - 808v6 (with ID41 build-in) + C15 + MD600 linked to the latest DSP8000SE, its about the best (and definitely much better than my previous combo).
Unless one listens to the Sooloos with a complete Meridian set up, one will have that little nit pick about its performance.
Seriously, its so good, it does makes me wonder if I should have this latest set up just for DIGITAL music playback. Its always nice to have 2 separate systems, one for vinyl and one for digital music.
To complete my dream, let me wonder about the colours, ... first I had black DSP8000, then White DSP8000SL ... now DSP8000SE .... Hmmmm, ...... just one day .... just that one day ...
In short, Meridian as an all digital playback combo (from source to speakers) are there with the best. Its just that standalone might just be that tad short to certain "specialists" gears. For sure, its GUI is THE best I have ever used so far (don't know about the Mcintosh MB100 ... which I am also dreaming about for a complete Vintage Mc system ... )
So many desires, so many dreams, so little space, time and money ....
Cheers!
