Hi Sean,

Thanks for the quick response.  I can comment on a couple of your
suggestions which may help narrow it down:-

- Try a different source component to verify that the problem isn't in
the speakers---- I can switch between sources and all other sources
seem fine.

- Try SB3 with a different receiver----I was previously running the SB3
into my processor and then into the speakers.  I can still do this if I
switch cables to the SB3 as I'm using both digital inputs to the
speakers.  I am currently trying the SB direct to the speakers to see
how they go as the speakers will upsample internally etc.

- Next time it happens, instead of rebooting the SB3, try unplugging
and re-plugging the s/pdif cable.----I'll try that.  I'm not doubting
the cable as such (although wouldn't rule it out) but suspect this
might give the speakers another chance to lock.  It is very odd though
that it has done it both sides now.  I agree that spdif is normally
both channels.  The Meridians work with one speaker as master which
gets the spdif feed first and then passes the full signal to the other
slave speaker.  I haven't seen it on any other source or when the SB3
was into my processor.

- Try a different cable, or different type of cable (eg optical
instaead of coax)---- I can't do that to the speakers as they only have
spdif inputs.  I can do that into the processor though.  I'll try that
after trying the spdif back to the processor when it next happens.

- Next time it happens, try playing something at a different sample
rate (48KHz or 32KHz material) and see if it starts working again. This
causes the interface to have to re-sync----I only have 44.1k flacs at
the moment.  I'll have a look at some 48k PCM material I have on DVD. 
Would going to standby and with both speakers and SB3 also not cause it
to re-sync ?

- Try toggling the l/r setting on the Meridians---- that's worth a
thought.  However, I'll have to switch the DSP's off to do that so that
might be the same as unplugging the cable.

I guess I'll have to buy a Transporter so I can feed both direct to
speaker and via the processor simultaneously eh ;).

It's only happened twice in about a week so it may be a few days before
I catch it again.  

I'll post back when I do.

All the best
