Well maybe not. Meridian is a high end designer. They use really expensive proprietary parts and they invented the DVD MLP spec. Their CD players are in the $4K to $20K range.

I wouldn't balk at it too badly. Silver is correct in saying that Meridian is VERY high end. Case in point, I checked out a Meridian home theater system that was valued at $200,000+ with $104,000 for the main speakers ALONE.
The sound quality was almost as good as going to a good theatre.

I'm sorry, I'm too much of a pragmatist. Even if I won the Megaball, I wouldn't spend $200K for a home theater or $3K for a countertop CD player. I'd save the $200K for a bigger garage or something...

I was having a similar debate on another forum with someone that is along these same lines. I truly believe that what you sometimes pay for in the whole "you get what you pay for" cliche is advertising hype, brand name, and bragging rights. Nothing more.

For $200K, I'd kinda expect better than a good theater, not almost as good. lol. | |
