Meridian 502/557 pre/power


I am looking for a pre/power combo for my sonus faber grand piano homes.

Any one has any experience of the meridian 502/557 combo driving these speakers or similar ones?

Any helpful comments/feedback gratefully received.

Dick Olsher of the now defunct FI Stereo magazine evaluated the 502 in April of 1997, page 56 giving it a Very positive rating
Thanks for your responses.

I lost the "557" as it has now been sold. there is however a 556 available at a lower price so I could still make a 502/556 combo.

I don't think a meridian/SF combination is very popular.
How good is the 502 preamp?

I am thinking of matching it with more expensive and "better" amps. Is this just a waste?

Tks
