Anyone into High end AV kit

A mate of mine is looking to offload this....seems like a dated dates AV amp, though good quality.

Know anything about them?

Stunning in its day, sadly rather outdated now. 17 years old at a guess. No support for any recent codecs, and S-video is the best video format onboard.

The problem with AV gear is that unlike guitars or stereo HiFi...it’s gets outdated and fast.

no HDMI, don’t buy.

Might make a good audio only 5.1 amp if you have a source with 5.1 out (such as an older DVD or Bluray)
Even with see to out it could probably produce a reasonable surround using Dolby surround

Im not thinking of buying, I have an Onkyo AV amp at the moment, he's just asking if might shift to for him.

Meridian kit is very good but as others have said, AV gear gets outdated very quickly.
