“This is an outstanding set-up… what marks this out is really punchy, controlled bass, especially at high volume on fast tracks… There’s good clarity to the vocals and a natural accuracy to the surround sound. Verdict: *****”
– Steve Fowler, Auto Express, Jun 2012.
“These systems sound almost as good as top-notch hi-fi, which makes long journeys and being held up in traffic a joy.”
– Jonathan Margolis, How to Spend It, Financial Times, Jun 2012.
“The sound quality is quite simply awe inspiring.”
– Ian Robertson, DieselCar, Jan 2013.
“Jumping on the 405 South and heading towards Newport Beach, I skipped Guns N’ Roses’ obvious “Welcome to the Jungle” and chose “Black Leather” from their 1993 covers record The Spaghetti Incident, cranking the volume control until it hurt, before ultimately dialing it down to perfection. The delivery? Effortless.
Meridian claims that “wherever you sit in the Evoque, you’re sitting in the best seat in the vehicle.” With the needle on the speedometer settling in at 115mph (with surprisingly little traffic on the 405), it felt like Slash was out on the vehicle’s bonnet, in front of a wall of Marshalls, and the rest of the band in the back seat. Spectacular!”
– Jeff Dorgay, Tone Audio, Feb 2012.
“It’s a fantastic listen: its treble is smooth and composed without being overly polite, its bass is forthright and articulate, and a taut, unburstable character pervades every aspect of its presentation.”
– Andy Kerr, What HiFi, Jun 2012.
