Sadly, no Spandex though on the speakers. Oh nostalgia.

I guess that Allen Boothroyd had indeed 'left the building'

Oh really? Oh silly silly me. And there was I believing our beloved upmarket makers had strayed into the dark side! Maybe I should have marked the thread as "Important- read first. Irony in operation here"?

Two companies having the same name in similar fields didn't seem particularly noteworthy to me so I assumed it was the first time you'd ever come accross the brand. Was I not helpful? We all differ, so perhaps it is of note.

Do a search for Meridian on Ebay and more than half will be this cheap PA/DJ gear or Peugot 306 Meridians... err... there's not much more to say about it than that!

Not seen any irony but perhaps a sign saying "Warning, Deep sarCasm " would be appropriate.

Well, you wouldn't would you? Seems you are in a minority though.

This doesn't mean you'll start banging on again that you are subject to a persecution campaign or something similar will it? Oh please, not that again!

Huh? You've done a poll? Or just that your automatic response is to try to make people feel small?

Haha.. you're terrible, like a bulldog that doesn't let go.

I could of course start banging on about it as I have the messages stating your intentions and the saved webpage of your blog and the saved webpage of AoS thread that was taken down.

I won't though because it is now water under the bridge - life is far too short! However, you keep bringing it up yourself..

Still, I don't see what any of this has to do with Meridian being both a high-end hifi company and a low-end PA company.. Perhaps you thought I was being a smartarse? I didn't mean it to come across that way - I thought I was in some small way broadening your knowledge. Sorry if you were insulted.

"and highz and lowz". The 'z' must be something digital, which meridian is known for excelling at lol
