I agree with a number of posters that this line has run its course but let me wrap up my portion of this thread. I joined this forum when I discovered that the new G68 that I had just purchased didn't have the 7.1 discreet surround that I thought it had. I won't recap this column but the short version is that a contractor/installer for my dealer/friend told me the G68 had 8+2 independent inputs so I could achieve my desired results of 7.1 plus 2 front channels in zone 2. He was wrong. And from the Meridian literature, I was unable to extricate myself from his mistake.

In the end I stretched and Meridian reached out and we came to a mutually agreeable price on a new 861 v6. So in about 3 weeks we will do a swap and I will be the happy owner of a piece of equipment that is everything I wanted and more.

Let me state again the Meridian-America team has been fast, friendly and fair to me. My dealer/friend received a morderate retraining phone conversation with Atlanta and he will buy me dinner at Lowry's Prime Rib in Beverly Hills. From my point of view - I'm happy.
