Meridian's DSP5500's evolved from the popular DSP6000, which held Stereophile Class A rating for a record 8 successive years.
The DSP line is unique in the loudspeaker world, as it combines acoustic drive units with quad-amplification so each has its own dedicated amplifier fed from a DSP system that sets optimal parameters for ideal sound within a space including digital cross-overs.. You have control over bass, treble tilt, listening axis, volume, time-compensated balance and absolute phase.
Being self contained, you can literally hook up a music streamer or CD player directly to the speakers and have a full range, hi-performance audio system.
PERFORMANCE: The built in DSP unit uses a memory buffer for ultra low jitter from any input source. All crossovers, equalization and sound shaping are done with the on-board processor. Each driver is fed only its frequency range for optimal crossover range. Even the precision, on-board amplifiers are powered by high-current, toroidal transformers using a custom high-speed power supply. The result brings you closer to the actual music.
The cabinets are built with laminated cherry wood and steel for ultra rigidity and minimal distortion. The drivers are isolated in separate enclosures to maintain timing and minimize distortion. The tuned cabinet allows for bass extension down to 30 hz while delivering beautiful mid-range transparency.
These speakers are in excellent condition. They look and play beautifully. A host of accessories and all original parts are included.
