Meridian 508.20 or Wadia 830 or Wadia 301????

Hello folks

Well, what to do??

Not heard the Meridian stuff at all, but heard lot's of top Wadia, but not the budget player 830 or 301.

Well, I'm planning to buy a really nice CDP suited for my TAD horn system at a time.

For you who do not know this stuff, I must say that I need a very very snooth sounding CDP analog sound. The sound must be as huge as possebly with good bass respons.

I need no upfront sound or details!!! This is horns!!!

I've seen that some people out there compare Meridian 508.20 with Levinson sound which I like.

Any advise, let me know. Please notice again that sound should be big, maybe a bit bold, smooth smooth and palpable.

thanks for any time you might use on this question.

I might be chiming in a bit late here, but this is what I'd suggest. Find a Meridian 506.20 which can be picked up used for well under a grand. I listened to quite a few machines and settled on it because of it's ease and warmth. Great detail and air without being etched, bottom end is tight without being overpowering. If you feel like it's too warm, I've read posts at several different forums indicating that upgrading it to 506.24 tones down the warmth and trumps up detail and bass. Just my two cents.

Curious though, if you already picked something up, what did you go for?
