When you have killer looks like the Meridian m80, you don’t need to look elsewhere for a perfect and compact entertainment system. The design is almost the same as F80, but the new m80 comes with the i80 iPod dock and a three hand stitched leather finish which brings versatility to the system. The technical specs include CD, DVD and DAB/FM/AM radio sources, as well as a mix of digital and analogue inputs. With this incredible sense of design, it fits comfortably in your kitchen, bedroom or your living room. There’s a 3.5 mm jack as well to allow other speaker systems to connect.
Powerful amplifiers, packing 80 watts of power allows it to connect to stereo drive units and subwoofer. The Standard i80 iPod dock allows the users to charge the iPod and listen to music. The music is clear and can be credited to the 30 years of Audio experience of Meridian.
Despite issues about portability, you can keep the system near a TV and connect to it – You end up having a great sound system and a DVD player. The best part is that, you have a sleek remote to control basic functions of the device which neutrals the portability issue.
For the kinda money you spend, you get an incredible and detailed sound quality. Finally you won’t even look at the performance of the system after having such killer looks for an Entertainment system.
As we can see in the image above, it fits pretty comfortable in the kitchen and is stylish, cool.
Worth the money

Despite the supposed design proficiency of Messrs. Boothroyd and Stuart, the M80 (and its flashier F80 predecessor) is a fundamentally compromised system for optical disc replay. The CD player has no Random Play or Direct Track Access buttons on either the remote or the machine itself. Think that doesn’t bother you? I have DVD-A (DVD-Audio) discs containing 99 tracks that this machine will play. What does one do when wishing to play Track 98? Yup, press the ‘Next’ key 97 times. Dumb is not too strong a word for this design. Add to that the lack of HDMI (or even component) output for the DVD player, the lack of any file-play facility via either SD or USB and you have an overpriced (if good-sounding) lifestyle system that trades on the audiophile credentials of it’s parent company but is 10 years out of date.
Far from ‘perfect’…
