I have used Trifield fairly extensively in the past and the experience was pretty amazing on many albums, however I felt the centre speaker often brings the centre image too far forward, rather than vocalists, for example, being further back on the stage, behind the speakers.

Of course, it is quite possible the newer equipment from Meridian fixes this, but the 818v3 was needed IMO to create the best 3D image Meridian I know of to date and this update sadly never came to the 861.
