Product description
Meridian's long-running flagship, fully active and all-digital: a 25 mm beryllium tweeter, a 160 mm midrange and six 200 mm long-throw woofers, each drive unit with its own amplifier for 1,250 W per speaker, fed by an onboard DAC and room-correcting DSP. It takes a digital signal straight in over SpeakerLink, coax, optical or USB and hits 120 dB from a tapered, boundary-optimised cabinet. Sold as a pair.
