I just want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Bruce, also known as CMB ntegrations, for the fantastic 818v3 that arrived today. I spent the whole day configuring it into my Meridian G68-based 7-channel system, and the difference in sound is truly astounding. Many thanks also to John, alias "All-In", for demonstrating his amazing system to me. Hearing his 818 in action with Meridian DSP speakers was a revelation. I'm still learning the ropes on making both G68 and 818 units coexist, but for now, I'm having a blast switching between them. It's easier just to turn off the G68 completely when not in use.
