Timeless Design

摘要

Emerging phoenix-like, or should that be Cinderella-like, from the turmoil of Lecson via the short-lived Orpheus designs, Bob Stuart and Allen Boothroyd announced the arrival of BS Meridian in the pages of Hi-Fi News 28 years ago. The Series 1 system initially comprised the 101 pre-amp, the 103 power amp and the astonishing M1 active speakers with six on-board power amps and a radical electronic crossover. This was shortly followed by a brilliant refinement of the 103 into the 103D, the only adequate 104FM tuner, and the justifiably legendary 105 mono power amplifiers. During the 1970s all of these items were favourably reviewed (occasionally ecstatically so) around the world.
