Have just had my 861v6 upgraded to v8, as well as my DSP8.2K's & the DSP7200HC to SE's.

A lot of initial faffing & typing / reprogramming later - it would have been nice to have received (at least) the processor with an even slightly representative configuration - but it's now time to assess the differences.

"The Jury's still out" although very early impressions are of slightly more air / ambience in the higher frequency range, and marginally tighter / punchier bass.

Watch this space....
