Looking to replace my old Meridian 508.24

In the process of downsizing speakers (going to the Avalon Ascendants from the Thiel 6s) and replacing/upgrading my cd player. My other equipment are the Sonic Frontier Power 3 monoblocks and a conrad johsnson pre-amp.

I currently have an old Meridian 508.24 and am looking for something to replace it is definitely on its last legs.

I used to have one of those. What kind of sound do you like?

ZD542, i loved the Meridian sound (to my ears very "warm" and "musical") so i'm looking for something in the vein if that makes sense."

I know what you are talking about, but to be honest, I wasn't crazy about my 508.24. Maybe it was personal taste, or even poor system matching, or who knows. That said, I think that I can give you a pretty good recommendation. One of my current CD players is an Arcam (FMJ-33). For me, it goes just a bit further than the Meridian. Its a very listenable and musical player, but its a bit more fun to listen to. For me, the Meridian was boring in a bad way, but the Arcam is boring in a good way. If that makes any sense.
