Roger; does anyone have experience connecting the PST transport via hdmi into the new Meridian 621 switcher; which claims to have its new aphodizing filter incorporated; then running that back out into a digital Meridian processor. PS Audio's web ...

Terry;Thanks for your comments. I spoke with Simon at Spectron; and he's been very helpful. Also spoke with Bryston; and they are being helpful. I should have my auditions of both started next week; and we'll see how I like them; it sounds from ev... 
Bryston 28 sst's vs Spectron Musician 3 SE ?
thanks everyone for their responses and ideas...it seems that this indeed makes for an interesting 'shoot out'; and there are people on both camps on this topic; which is good...my dealer is still breaking in his Bryston 28 sst monos; I'm hoping t... 
Bryston 28 sst's vs Spectron Musician 3 SE ?
I guess what I'm hoping for is someone who has listened and can offer opinions of the big Bryston amp...I see many people here in the forum have positive comments on the Spectrons and improved class d amps; but I am looking for description on the ... 
Bryston 28 sst's vs Spectron Musician 3 SE ?
My feeling is that my MBL speakers tend to be a bit dry and cool; and accurate; from what comments are being offered; maybe the Bryston might fit the bill....to provide a bit more warmth..other option is a tubed preamp; but don't want to go there....

Kal; can you elaborate on the virtues of the hd621? is there a review somewhere I can look at? Not sure at that price point of the advantages for us Meridian users....I'm running my hdmi out of BD into my TV directly; will this improve my video si... 
Need help selecting Meridian Components...
I had a Meridian G-68; and upgraded to a used 861 v4.2; and use the Sony 5000es Blue ray player. The blue ray handles the new codecs with internal dacs; and I use the analog out of the BD into the Meridian processor...most of my BD discs however a... 
HDMI to SPDIF/Toslink converter-audio stripper
Meridian has just such a solution; just released...I have not heard it; so can't comment on its features. Meridian did this because their processors can't handle BlueRay codecs via hdmi; only analog input...it retails for around $2600.Let us know....

thoughts on MBL amps: 8011 vs 9007's
Dear Vx: I enjoy the detail and accuracy of the 8011's; but don't feel that I'm getting all the base umph that my speakers are claimed to deliver. I'm thinking I need another dedicated power plug; I may be crimping on the power getting into the am... 
Krell Evo202 or B&W 802 or McIntosh C1000 solid
what is it you don't like about your Meridian 861? I guess many people use it for Home theater; instead of two channel; but if its the v4.2; its internal dacs are quite good. I'd vote for the bigger speakers and amps...your current speakers don't ... 
Sony Blue Ray: S5000es vs S2000es
Dear Fplanner: I timed my 5000es when I loaded a disc; from opening tray to having disc loaded and images on TV was less than 20 seconds...I do have it set up in 'active mode' not standby which reduces the load time; but uses a bit more electricit... 
Sony Blue Ray: S5000es vs S2000es
I have the S5000es; and I find it to work very well; I am using 5.1 analog out; and having the BD process the new codecs; running it into analog input card on Meridian 861. I have played both standard dvd and blue ray; it's load and start times ar...

MBL and Wolfgang Meletzy
I purchased a new pair of MBL 111e's one year ago; and received it with a non-functioning woofer in one cabinet; which they replaced. I contacted the American rep to inquire on their upgrade path to the new 111f's; and unlike Wilson which supports...
