RE: Fw: FS Meridian 565



I stand corrected (I’ve had a 561 for approaching 4 years, and it still brings a smile to my face even when using it in 2 channel mode, but I bet Phil is going to start being *really* nice to Jo…..

 

The most significant free upgrade I have applied to mine was Dolby Pro Logic II used primarily when watching Sky.

Ooh...

Let me add my recommendation to this. This is a stellar processor, at an excellent price. (ie - it's what I have, at rather less than I paid second-hand a year ago.)

However, I would add a word of caution on the upgrades. The 7.1 / THX / DTS / DD revision is the FINAL revision for the 565.

The 561 is a subtly different model, incoroporating more input switching, and has had more recent upgrades. It also has a faster core processor, and is likely to continue to be upgradable. The quid pro quo is that the 565 has subtly more options than the 561 for operation in an _8_ channel setup.

The 568 is the current replacement for the 565, and is, again, based around a faster core.

However, at this price, it's a definite "buy" recommendation - with the normal proviso that I'd never buy s/h hi-fi without actually listening to it first :-)
