Shadorne,

Sorry it took so long to respond - I don't get to this page often. Thanks for your comments. In fact, this summer I tested a center channel (DSP5000C) and decided not to keep it. The phantom center is far more coherent.

I am a long-time Meridian user. I believe that their approach is outstanding, but doesn't appeal to many audiophiles because it eliminates so much tweaking. Many years ago I decided that the music was the key, and I got tired of obsessing on cables, amp/speaker matching, etc.

System edited: I now stream all music in Apple Lossless format from my PC to the Sonos ZP80. The ZP 80 is connected via coaxial digital cable to my 568.2 processor. Extensive testing revealed the Sonos, connected digitally, to beat every high-end transport we could fiind, as well as the Apple Airport Epresss connected via optical digital cable. I have not tested the Squeezebox - having chosen the Sonos system for its outstanding user interface.
