What would be the weakest link in this setup

Thanks for the input.

Lak: I just started builing up my system, so don't really have those fancy accessoris, but would appreciate any recmmendation and advice on those that goes well with my setup.

Aball: I looked at McIntosh amps, but aren't those little bit more expensive?

Mlauner: The Arcam DVD/CDP will only act as a Tranport to the Meridian processor. Do you still think it's not good enough? Any other suggestions?

I would try a YBA amplifier in your system. They seem to mate well with JM Labs speakers. If that was my system, the amp would be the first to go.

I think that all of the equipment you listed is an excellent starting point. Before replacing any of it I would heed Lak's recommendations. Every piece of the audio chain is important, and until you have experience with those "fancy accessories" as you call them, you won't know their true value.

In my experience I would leave room acoustics until last, and go for cables, power conditioners and dedicated power lines, probably in that order.

As far as recommendations are concerned, I have different equipment so I am not sure how my choices will work for you. However, if it helps, I use Tara Labs Air series interconnects and Richard Gray power conditioning and am thrilled with the results.

Just my opinion. :o)

I think all your gear is plenty good enough. I'd look at the room. Is it well treated in terms of damping? Are the speakers well placed for smooth response, precise imaging and adequate bass? Treating the room - especially damping the first reflections and overall echo - is crucial for sound quality, and is the best bang for the buck you could possibly get with your current system.

I'd say your room. Your ceiling is 8' and width is 16. A multiple like this will make bass modes much worse. Bass traps at a minimum. You'll be amazed at the improvement in sound. Like the above poster states, room treatment. Until that is done it really doesn't do much good to try different components until your room acoustics are done as well as you can get away with. The "average" room has a frequency response of plus or minus 15db or more! No snake oil, hard facts of physics. The sound improvement by taming the room, if you can, is very substantial. You'll hear the improvement big time. I suggest going to realtraps.com and rives.com and reading. With those dimensions you have a serious problem in your bass and that will muddy up the mids and highs. Cheers
