My 7.1 system has also been upgraded. This now comprises 5k2VCSE, 8kSE (front), 5k2SL (sides), 8kSL (rears), D2500, 861v8.

The upgrade has brought similar benefits to those gained by my 2 channel system. Most importantly, as well as a greater sense of space, the dialogue in films and broadcasts is much clearer and more characterful. This may seem like bathos after such an investment. However, it is thoroughly worth having and has significantly enhanced the pleasure of the system.

Thanks to Meridian and Sevenoaks Exeter for making it possible.
