My first Meridian processor was a G68 - it has great connectivity options but I felt the 861v4 upgrade was worthwhile. TV/HT vs 2 channel listening are important decision factors and also the ability to have an ID40 card if you are interested in Sooloos as the card is only available in the 861 series. Since your current processor is not M. asking whether or not you like Trifield is premature smile
