Celebrate 40 years of audio innovation
 

Forty years ago, Bob Stuart and Allen Boothroyd worked together for the very first time and began to design their first products: the distinctive Lecson AC1 control unit and AP1 power amplifier, which went on sale the following year, in 1972. These ground-breaking products won Bob and Allen their first British Design Council Award in 1974 and remain on permanent display in the New York Museum of Modern Art.
 

To celebrate the Ruby Anniversary of Allen and Bob’s creative partnership, Meridian is releasing a special limited 40th Anniversary Edition of Meridian’s most advanced audio replay system, consisting of a special version of the 808 Preamp / CD / Meridian Sooloos Player with a pair of DSP8000 Digital Active Loudspeakers. 
 

All the units are built from hand-selected components and include numerous special individually-adjusted performance enhancements that make this stunning system sound even better than the regular DSP8000s and 808.3. Also, each component is given a unique, distinctive, and never-to-be-repeated Ruby Red finish and contrasting driver bezels. 
 

The system is unique in other ways too. Only 40 systems in total will be available worldwide and Audio High was selected to receive serial numbers 01 and 02. Number 02 is available at press time and this system represents a fantastic deal as it is basically the same price as the "standard" version of the components when ordered in a custom color, but in this case you get a unique piece of history with specially tweaked to a whole  new level of performance.
