Meridian offers not just good HT sound, but also has some proprietary music surround modes (specifically Trifield) that actually makes 2ch source sound better than the original, and we are not talking about adding delays and echoes to the rear channel in order to make it sound like you are in some venue. There is all the talk of extracting that last bit of info out of a CD with 24bit DAC, jitter control, upsampling/oversampling (in which the Meridian all have,) but the Trifield processing, which modifies the LCR signal based on the human auditory hearing model, actually re-creates a soundfield more accurate than the original recording (so many recording are plain old-intensity panned, producing something unatural and totally against the way human percieve sound.) You might retire your 2ch preamp after trying the meridian.
