Disponivel em amarelo, vermelho, preto, prata e branco ou em Giallo Modena, para lhe dar o seu nome oficial. Seja lá como se chama, no entanto, é certamente a mais bonita. A cor é fantastica, brilhante e impecável é Ferrari.
Você ficará satisfeito ao ouviro som emitido por este equipamento. Bem como emprestar a sua competência no processo de pintura, a Ferrari também foi fundamental no desenvolvimento de uma ressonâcia baixa com materiais compósitos que são utilizados no chassis. Estes materiais foram necessárias para permitir a construção deste pequeno equipamento - principalmente devido à sua forma curva - que poderá manter a qualidade áudio a que a Meridian está associada. A sua rigidez e densidade, diminui a ressonância e elimina a possibilidade de vibração que normalmente está associado ao plástico do qual é feito construção.
Com apenas 6,5Kg, este peso combinado com a unidade de alimentação do funcionamento praticamente só mata o F80 da portabilidade, apesar da sua aparência compacta é facilmente transportavel de quarto para quarto ou para o exterior, para animar um churrasco.

The version we were sent is finished in a resplendent bright yellow (red, black, silver, and white are also available), or Modena Giallo, to give its official name. Whatever it's called, though, it is most certainly beautiful. The colour is rich and bright and the glossy finish is spotless. If the only impetus Ferrari had in the F80's design was doing the paintjob, it would still justify the tie-in.
You'll be glad to hear, though, that this isn't the case. As well as lending its painting skills to proceedings, Ferrari was also key in developing the low-resonance, high mass composite materials that are used in the chassis. These materials were needed to enable the construction of such a small device - especially given its chosen curved shape - that could maintain the audio quality that Meridian is associated with. Its rigidity and density quells resonances and eliminates the possibility of rattling that you might normally associate with a plastic construction.
With only 6,5Kg, this weight combined with the unit's mains only operation pretty much kills the F80's portability, despite its compact looks. It's ok for moving from room to room or taking outside for a barbecue but a ghettoblaster replacement, this is not.
