I paid $600.00 (+$250.00 to ship them) for a pair of Meridian DSP-5000's MK-I's and they include internal DACs so you connect the speakers with the digital output of the squeezebox. They have digital crossovers and are internally tri-amped and they look nice to boot :) I didn't pay $600.00 for the pair below but this is similar to what they look like and sound like. http://softronix.com/pictures/dsp5000/IMG_1691.JPG -- mswlogo XP > Cat5 > Transporter > SPDIF > Meridian G68 > DSP 6000, 5500HC, 33 XP > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF > Meridian DSP 5000 XP > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF > Meridian G91 > DSP 5000 'Hitch Hikers Guide to Meridian' (http://www.meridianunplugged.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54559 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
