Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
We have had these speakers (and a a G91 dvd/cd player) for comimng up 4 years and they continue to astound with clarity, impact and shear wonder....this ranges from "being there" feel to BBC FM broadcasts of the Proms to stunning reproduction of favoured CDs......go to a good Meridian dealer armed with a credit card with lots of flex and be prepared to spend....

Review 2 of 2

Price Paid:  $7000.00 from Local Dealer

Summary:
Please see my review of the G68 processor in addition to this review. The 5200 is the first speaker from Meridian that really made me think about jumping into the Meridian family. The resolution, soundstage and detail that these speakers are capable of producing is nothing short of impressive. As I noted with the G68, these need to be part of a Meridian system to sound their best. While it is true that you can connect any digital source and these will play, you will be missing out on so much. In addition to the sound quality, they look great! It is hard to believe that such a diminutive speaker can sound so full and rich! I am very please with these speakers. Of course, as I noted with the G68, it is possible to get better sound from a traditional analog system, but you would have to spend much more.

Strengths:
Detail/resolution;
Micro-dynamics;
Soundstage; and
Asthetics

Weaknesses:
Needs a Meridian system to sound its best.
Objectively, an expensive product.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
