Meridian DPS 7000 ? 5200? are these speakers actually worth having as a long term deal...

I am a Wilson guy for a long long time now (Sophia 3), had it matched with most in my life including the higher levels of ARC's, Krells, Ayre and finally went with the Devialet and extremely pleased with everything. Simplifying the system and retaining the sound quality was critical. Wanting less pieces but not willing to compromise on the sound.

Are any of the DSP Meridians worth looking into. DSP 5200 or DSP 7000 would be of interest.

they have more dealers than you may expect - their web site explains the design approach & will find a dealer for you

I’ll be curious what you think of them (I don’t have them as I am addicted to panels...)

Never owned but have heard the DSP 7200? or whatever the model is under the 8000.  Sounded great and had only one box hooked to it.  Have owned an 808 series CDP for years now and pretty content.

Rapogee,

Kind of a question only you can answer. One thing I have noticed is that Meridian tends to get hugely discounted on the used market. That's not important in terms of whether they sound good to you, but if you do like them you can get pretty good deals on them.

Best,

Erik

Aren't the Meridian's active loudspeakers with built-in D/A converters?  How would you run them with a Devailet?

No. You are a Wilson guy. Not the same or even similar. I would say Totem might be worth auditioning
