What is the smallest piece of Sooloos I can buy in order to be able to connect my pair of DSP3100 to my core solos in another room.

in other words, I think I need one piece which has cat 5 to connect to my router and then coaxial digital out to my DSPs. Presumably i can then use my iPad to play music on the 2nd pair of speakers? Can the speakers have different music coming out simultaneously.

Funny, I use my Sooloos all the time but have not kept up with the latest products.

Thanks

I use the Media Source 200. It is very small just a bit large than a deck of cards. I use the analog out to connect to my whole house system. It also has digital outs to connect to Meridian speakers or a external DAC.

Jim, it seems to only have an optical out which is an issue since my DSP3100 have only coaxial in.

Funnily enough the Media Source 600 has coaxial out but no optical. The same with the Media Core 200. Typical. I wonder which is more the Media Source 600 or the Media Core 200?

Ooops.. I see you cannot use Speakerlink and require coax.

I am not sure on the pricing of the MS600 but I think it is more than the MC200 which I love.

The Revivers are s/pdif+comms to Speakerlink adapters. Contact Robert and he will sort you out. Just mention you will want to use an MS200 with DSP3100 speakers.

Thanks. Looks like just what I need. Or I could sell my DSP3100s and get a pair of 3200s but they are so much smaller i hesitate.

Anyone compared the two models or own a pair of 3200s?

I don't think you have anything to fear by going DSP3200.
But if you want some more omph the M6 is a nice choice if you can live with the phallos design.

Wall mounted DSP3300 is also an option.

But for a small lounge area DSP3200 should do the job.

The M6 look nice but I will forever be thought of as a B&O convert

I am surprised how little cost difference there is between the M6 and dsp3200s considering they look very different. Must go and have a listen.

Thanks

The M6 are lots of fun and deliver plenty of punch. Quite forgiving but with a nice big soundstage working well even if standing upright a bit further back.

DSP3200 are more traditional Meridian. I highly recommend a listen because these two speakers represent quite a different perspective on the music and can suit very different applications.
