I just sold my beloved it 950 and hoping to upgrade to 990 soon. My 950 sold fairly quickly so right now I am using my old first generation DD/DTS processor from Technics. Even my wife thinks this processor needs upgrade soon. I was about to order the 990 but I saw the Meridian 565 7.1/Z3 6.2 for sale for about the same price. This unit just got factory-upgraded for upto date installation. Does anybody has any experience with this Meridian unit? I heard lots of good things about Meridian 500's series but never had a chance to listen one. I know this unit is 7 or 8 years ago when first introduced but it is factory upgraded to today's processing capabilities according to current owner. I would appreciate anybody's experience with this Meridian. Thanks.
