This particular Meridian was listed under Audiogon classified section. I know Meridian is out of my price range as new but this was older unit like Gonk said with updated newer processing modes. The seller was asking less than $1200 for it. But before I had any chance to ask any specific questions, it was sold already anyway. Since I knew almost nothing about the Meridian units other than it is very expensive as new, I was seeking any members' experience with it. Anyway, like I said earlier post, due to lack of connections flexibility, it will not work for me regardless of how it is updated. I have no idea whether this unit has any transferable warranty if at all but seller did said the unit just came from factory upgrade installed couple months ago.
