Anyone with Meridian speaker experience?

I worked in a shop that sold Meridian many years ago. Very high end digital speakers. They were a little sterile for my tastes.

They were digital speakers. They sounded for lack of a better word crisp. It's been a while but I definitely preferred the Dynaudio speakers in the shop to the Meridians. Of course the Meridians were way beyond the range that I could imagine spending. I think the full digital theater was $65000.

Don't get me wrong. There was nothing at all wrong with them. I just preferred more traditional speakers. Have you listened to them.

I'd pass. That's a little too hokey.

I've never liked Meridian active loudspeakers. There are better things out there, even for $3500.

What does one do with three pairs of speakers?

Nobody can tell you what speaker sounds best to you. Everyone likes different frequencies highlighted or muted more than others. If you like them, pony up.

Tell the wife you'll buy them for her if you can PIIHB

Same as last time you asked

I have owned a lot of Meridian gear in the past and I loved it. Meridian is the Apple of the audio world. They suck you into their ecosystem and it's a pain getting out.

With that said, I have heard the M6 speakers and my impression was it was cool and did a nice job filling the room with very good sounding music. It is in no way shape or form an audiophile speaker. There is no way in hell I would pay 3500 for these. You can get some really top notch stereo speakers for that much and have much more flexibility on amplification and source choice. There is a reason Meridian is not selling them in the US or Canada anymore.
