I went from all Meridian (top of range 8000 speakers, 861 processor, 800 dvd) to Bryston/B&W. The Meridian set up was (and is) unacceptably cumbersome and prone to things going wrong.
I had a one to one relationship with the directors before they sold out to a lifestyle Dunhill crew (the previous owners even came to my home to install the set up) but after sale of the business Meridian showed no interest in customer support.
I have had the B&W d2 and now have 800d3 . If you are agreeing with someone who said the measurements are similar, then that has no meaning of any significance.
The d3 is a totally different speaker to the d2 (much better with the "top" issue now sorted) and sounds far better. I have compared them to £150k Wilsons, and independently, I and my friendly dealer, both agree we prefer the d3s. They punch way way beyond their price range.
If you can't tell the difference between a d2 and d3, which your quoted article states then that is a shame, for you, as the difference is significant.
