I would like to see a couple of alternative small & simple boxes, one per speaker.

Master Version
SpeakerLink --> SPDIF, COMMS.
........... <-- MASTER COMMS

Slave Version
SpeakerLink --> SPDIF, COMMS

Nice & simple and installed either at DSP end or Process end to suit.

861V6 --SpeakerLink------------------> Box --SPDIF+comms--> DSP
OR
861V6 --SpeakerLink--> Box ------------------SPDIF+comms--> DSP

Did M not think this would be a good idea? I wonder why they went the 2 speakers AC12 route?

Master / Slave versions were exactly what I was hoping for as well. Not sure if this ever happen now M seems set to launch AC12.
