Hi Thrasher,

It not quite that simple as not all apodising filters are equal even those by Meridian.

We don't know for sure but we suspect that apodising in the 808.2(3) is a "better" implementation than that in the HD621 or DSPs.

Meridian have stated that from their testing the better apodising filters require more MIPS / Memory to implement.

It will be interesting to "see" how the new 861v6 stacks up.

However, with all that said, a pair of 8k2s and a Sooloos sounds stunning.

Regards,
Carl
