Is Meridian dead as a product company?


Hello everyone,
I like to check out Meridian every now and then, to look at their surround processors, and see what I could buy cheap used. :)

So I just went and looked, and it seems that they stopped developing products about 5 years ago. Their surround sound offerings are old and haven't been updated.

I was thinking of picking up a G65 for use with my current HT setup.

Thoughts?

You could check with Stereo Design in San Diego. They've been a Meridian dealer forever. I've used nothing but Meridian amps for over 25 years, and love them. I used 557's for most of that time but both eventually failed the same way and could not be fixed (by Meridian or anyone else) but now use a bridged G55. Hope it lasts as long as the 557s did.
BUMP:There's still a few M dealers around and the above mentioned hitchikers guide to meridian is the place for all things M. I finally bought the kit I'd been pining over for years.The new prices are to expensive(for me)but second hand are worth a listen. What makes Meridian a tough sell is their products don't focus on the same features as the competition so assessing value and purpose in a non all M system gets confusing. I have no reliability problems tho' there was a bit of a learning curve setting my system up.
