There must be something very wrong here. Just the upgrade to 861v8 should have left you thrilled. The move to 8kSE should have brought an overwhelming improvement. (I cannot speak for the 7k2HCSE as I do not have one but I have no reason to doubt that the enhancement would have been considerable) I write this from experience not hearsay or conjecture. Have you added so many filters in MRC as to blunt the system? You owe it to your system and your enjoyment to check everything.
