I think a 818v3 with a pair 8KSE’s is a very envious system, it doesn’t get much better. Anywhere. Just my unbiased 😊 opinion.
I agree and am really excited about having such a system in MY house.
My only concern is that it would be great if I could combine a pure audio 2 channel setup with a surround solution. I have seen some older posts on here that discuss how to set this type of solution up, but it doesn't seem like there is a satisfactory setup possible. Even Chris at Meridian implied that the systems are not really designed to do this. For clarification I mean I would like to this: 8kSEs connected to 818v3 for 2 channel. Then connecting this to either G65 or 861v8 powering centre, rears and sub. Seems no can do!
