Or they desided not to connect the dots if the 218 came to close to the 818v3 with a external psu for 1/10th of the price of a V3 + the cost for the psu?
Some Meridian...

Never understood this either. They had the PSU already, but failed to connect the dots. Could have made the 210 and 218 also in the similar look of the prime. A lot has been written in the first thread on this topic. If you do a search on 218 PSU you will find it. Agreed.

I gave my 218 a Shunyata Venom V14 NR C-5 cord to good effect through DSP5200SE in a home theater -rather than the Farad Super3 lps which I am in love with in my living room. Worth it, though, for money spent and an easy addition -compared to rewiring- but a long way from 818v3 sound.

Shunyata C15 Gamma NR (£650) plus Shunyata C5 adapter is the UK entry level ‘budget’ option for the 218/210.
