Exactly Nic. From my seat, room correction cannot come too soon in the 818, even if it's another hardware upgrade. Ironically, with legacy kit, I may* be able to achieve MRC without compromising much of going direct, but anyone with an 818v3 and a pair of SEs who also needs MRC is going to be out of luck for the time being.

* My assumption is, of course, that whatever the 818v3 is outputting over coax MHR is receivable and understandable by the 861v4.
