Dual subs and room size

Last CD player?
Try sampling some new DACs. Finding one that plays nice with the Meridian and other components is key. Perhaps just take the player to an authorized meridian technician for a check up and a fresh dab of lube on moving parts. Sounds like your happy... 
Let's see or discuss your desktop speakers!
Used to have Totem mites with Bryston 2B which was nice. Current Dynaudio BM6A powered/active monitors (check those out Joe) with DacPre. I feel no urge to upgrade. Another plus its clean and minimal. For late listening the Dac has a built headpho...
