Having had over a year with a G08 I can give my impressions if it's of any use. The G08 has very good rhythmic drive, it's just that compared to Naim it doesn't have the same bottom end weight and impact. Also there's very little out there that nails timing and pace like Naim gear.

All that considered, I heard the G08 coupled with a Krell KCT pre, FPB300cx power amp, B&W802D's the other weekend and the bass was powerful, very deep, and fast as I could possibly want. As in all things audio, every manufacturer puts there own mark on the sound that emerges from the equipment and Meridian differs from Naim. I've yet to hear any piece of gear at any price that "does it all".

Cheers,

Craig.
