Meridian 508.24 or CEC TL15XR ??? HELP


Having a difficult time trying to decide.
The meridian (7yo) is being offered at almost double the price of the CEC (1yo).
No chance to demo either one and would like to replace Denon 3910 currently being used as CD source.
In other system, currently using Rega Apollo.
Saw a thread somewhere which a person 'upgraded' from the Meridian to the Rega, which is very disappointing to read because I never considered the Apollo to be THAT good.
Any advise???

Everyones ears are different and so are there listening tastes, environment and equipment. I would not limit my decision on what someone else thought that I have never met. I do read reviews and I am positive I have seen people here on the forum who have chosen Wadia, Esoteric, Ayre, AR, Lector, Audio Aero etc. in lieu of Meridian and vise-versa. Guess what? They are all right! Let your own ears and system and budget decide.
Good Luck!
