Items prefixed by "-" are possible, but not guaranteed. It really
depends on how much room I've got in the car on the morning:

Meridian 562V source switch
Meridian 565 surround processor
- Meridian 518 de-jittering/resolution enhancement processor
Meridian 556 Power amp (front channels)
Meridian 551 Integrated amp (read channel)

- B&W CDM7 speakers (front channels)
- B&W 601.2 speakers (read channels)

May substitute the speakers for something smaller, like Charios, if
I'm tight on space :-)
