“The Meridian 800 is a true reference quality product, offering not only first-rate CD sound, but also state-of-the-art DVD-Audio playback. …lesser players simply don’t have the resolution, timbral accuracy, or dynamics. Further adding to the 800’s attraction is the ability to configure for your system. It’s an out-standing DVD player, too. What we call a good conclusion. ”
