Cool... I need to revisit the RS-1's one of these days in not-meet-conditions. I heard Biggie's set [before he got the PS-1's] on his crazy tube amp and didnt like them much, but that was my first impression of the SR-225 as well. I went to Aerius' place recently and heard the SR-225's in good conditions and actually quite liked them the second time around. I think the same might go for the K340's, as they didnt seem to be getting much love at the meet... maybe they suffer from the same malady.

They were looking for them? Jamey told me to take them... anyways, they have been mailed back to Headroom now as I bought a pair of the M-Path's from a forum member.

Thanks, it was cool to meet you as well. I need to learn how to listen to more stuff at these meets and stop blabbing to people constantly.

I would agree with the midrange and highs comments as the one thing that I did prefer about the Meridian were its airy highs. The Eastsound has this as well, but it is more understated. I havent noticed any lack of tightness in the bass with the Eastsound, but mine is paired with a Dynahi and a pair of K340s [both of which have very tight bass] so it may be due to that. As for soundstaging, I would need more concentrated listening in better conditions that there were in Detroit to say anything either way. I didnt find them too much different in this regard.
I guess my comments about the Eastsound pulling you into the music and being more fun may be because of its midrange capabilities... I am, after all, a sucker for a good midrage.

Great comparison Xeno7651, well done.

I would also be interested in you expanding on this...
