Meridian F80 Hi-Fi with Horsepower. Everyone's talking about it. Our dealers said: 'Music has never looked so good, it sounds fantastic and it looks drop-dead gorgeous’. They called it 'A Hi-Fi in miniature' and 'The most interesting and unusual product in the last 20 years'. The press are equally excited: 'F80—an ultrastylish, one-box audio system .. capable of a much higher standard of performance and sound quality than .. one has any right to expect from something so small' (Paul Messenger, Stereophile). 'One of the most interesting products to hit the market for years, this is a brilliantly designed and made compact music system ... I welcome the Meridian F80 with open arms. Brilliantly conceived, superbly executed and eminently fit for purpose’ (David Price, Hi-Fi World). 'Fast and responsive, this little fella has a triple-amp configuration pumping out 80 watts of raw power to two speakers and a sub, giving sound that hammers hi-fis costing three times as much.' (T3 Most Wanted) Finally, a warning! 'When you first see it you smile, when you hear it you want one'. Engineered to Excel: visit the F80

G Series The G Series begins with twelve new designs that feature Meridian's legendary audio and video performance, advanced technology, gorgeous looks and ease-of-use. Meridian, recognized worldwide as the leader in digital audio and video for high-end home cinema and music systems, has announced its most important product introductions in a decade. Meridian’s new G Series components draw on the established state-of-the-technology engineering of the famous Reference 800 Series components, combined with the latest developments from Meridian’s research and development teams, to define new standards of A/V performance and full-system flexibility. |
|
 |
Meridian’s latest range includes three basic families of all-new designs: four variations of optical disc CD and CD/DVD player/transport/controller – two with extended, preamp-like capabilities; four components including surround processor/tuner, preamps, and a two-channel receiver; and three power-amplifiers including stereo and multi-channel models. The G Series products answer every potential need, both for 'analogue' systems using passive loudspeakers, and several high-performance arrangements of Meridian’s DSP digital loudspeaker models. |
Data Sheets in PDF: |
 |
The distinctive look and feel of each G Series model begins with stunning new industrial designs by Meridian co-founder Allen Boothroyd, featuring full-width, all-metal construction with Meridian’s traditional black-glass accents – and its extraordinary level of finish quality. The sleek finish, available in pearly silver or all black, is highlighted with an all-new user interface accessed by front panel or remote, rotary volume controls and flexible, customisable key layouts. |
|
 |
The new line features easy conversion to EIA-standard rack mounting via available kits, and RS-232 ports that may be used both for complete system-control integration and for communication with a new Meridian-written Windows application for set-up, configuration, and customisation. The G Series models can be precisely configured to meet the requirements of a specific system, while eliminating extraneous control and command 'clutter'.
