I totally recognized that too. If only it was colored white and it had an antenna then it will be the Portal Radio.

Have you had a chance to listen to one of these? I was fortunate enough to get a listen and it is absolutely incredible. If you pick it up, you know it actually has real drivers in it unlike any audio device its size. The thing weighs a ton. If you were looking for a feature rich box, I am thinking that a high end compact system targeted at AUDIOPHILES is probably not the box for you.

Applause: My favorite thing you mentioned is how great it sound because its heavy. I know a draftsman that used to work at Madrigal (Mark Levinson) and he would talk of how they used steel or lead blanks to add mass to the product solely for weight. ]]>Aug 6th 2010 5:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/meridian-launches-m80-high-end-compact-entertainment-system-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/meridian-launches-m80-high-end-compact-entertainment-system-we/My comment on the weight was just that chances are, the weight is coming from significantly awesome voice coils. :-). Maybe I'm wrong but I heard this prior to hearing their DSP 8000s, and from their little music systems to their flagship loudspeakers, these guys mean business when it comes to quality. Not to mention that Sooloos rocks.

More how.

According to the press release it only has an AM/FM tuner, so listening to a digital only station (ie. 6Music) would be impossible.]]>Aug 6th 2010 6:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/meridian-launches-m80-high-end-compact-entertainment-system-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/meridian-launches-m80-high-end-compact-entertainment-system-we/Sad.]]>Aug 6th 2010 6:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/meridian-launches-m80-high-end-compact-entertainment-system-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/meridian-launches-m80-high-end-compact-entertainment-system-we/Aug 6th 2010 8:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/meridian-launches-m80-high-end-compact-entertainment-system-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/meridian-launches-m80-high-end-compact-entertainment-system-we/Aug 7th 2010 7:01AM
