In Reply to: Used High End Processor Recommendation (<$2,000) posted by bernie on August 22, 2002 at 18:46:50:
Excellent in video sound processing, and has audio surround format that is the best there is out there, bar none.But with your antiquated system and a not so high emphasis on accurate surround music reproduction, you might be better off with a Lexicon.

Thanks for your response. I will do a detailed research on the Meridian.Lexicon was my fist choice until very recently. The DC-1 cost what I wanted to spend and promised upgradeability and great support. Now, however, I am now concerned that Lexicon will discontinue support and it will become another antique. Also, Lexicon doesn't seem to be very well regarded for music.
Regarding accurate surround music reproduction, if DVD-A or SACD are likely to become viable and sustainable formats well into the future, then I want a truly compatible if not excellent surround music processor so the Meridian could be a great choice.
The 565 is not current, has no 5 channel pass-thru and has limited switching. You would need a 562, 562v or 518 if you want extensive switching.If you are interested in DVD-A or SACD, none of these offers 5ch direct. You either get a pretty new processor with 5 ch pass-through, or get some 5 ch switcher and 5ch volume control for the DVD-A.
