I had been lusting after Meridian’s new DSP9 active speakers since they were unveiled at Munich Hi-End, and believe I may be the first U.S. owner (serial #3) after trading in the previous SE version. Most everything else has also changed -except the same view from the same Eames chair- since my last post here of the living room system.
The “skyline” acoustic diffusion panel is new, as are several absorption panels and a spongy TV screen cover that’s easily removed. Highlights of the digital source feeding these 3-way floorstanders with more than 1,260 Watts each (inside) include:
Raspberry Pi 4 running AudioLinux OS with the Diretta network protocol
Singxer SU-6 DDC to convert Pi USB to AES/EBU filtered by ENO M-Link
Cascaded Cisco Meraki network switches modified by AudioPhool NL
I’ve been very careful with power supplies and cabling, favoring Farad, Shunyata and Ghent.
I should have said “a” previous version, which were the 2.5-way DSP5200SE like yours (see my photo from 2021) which I still use L-C-R in a home theater surround system. They continue to offer unbeatable performance for the price and form factor, don’t you think? Ask your dealer for the new v3.20 firmware if you haven’t upgraded yet.
My Meridian fandom started with the 5ks in the 1980s !!! then, initially, Smileys here in the New Mexico theater built in 2003. DSP9 are a huge step forward, confirming for me that the company has not only survived a management buyout and the founders’ departure, but done some serious R&D in the meantime.
They do indeed. Amazing room filling sound that you can listen to all day. I would love to upgrade to 7200 (either standard or SE) but a flat in central London is not really the place for them if you want to keep on the right side of of the neighbours
I had looked at infinity site and it is for rack mount, but it would need refrigeration to work if the air in room is warm, otherwise it is just blowing the warm air around.
It is just a fan system as far as I can see.
That little couch is for the children. Works well acoustically also
