I don't see in his post where he states a 2 way center. For simplicity sake, I think I would just go as good and big of a coaxial as I could anyways.

It would work perfectly for me.

2-way front L/R
1-way center
1 way rear L/R
1 way sub

Homemade passive crossovers for center and rears (which will have mid & tweet right next to each other) and that's a wrap.

I wonder if 2 MS-8's could be strapped together for those with more complicated setups...

Why would you need passive crossovers for the center and sub channel?! AFAIK each channel has a crossover option of HP, LP or BP. All 8 channels can be run actively.

1 way from MS-8 but going to 2 drivers.

I think I would go 2 way active LCR+sub and thats that.

This is looking like it might actually make it to the shelves this year.

I would love to run this as a 3-way L/R, coax or full range for center and a sub.

It would be nice if they made an expansion module for it though...maybe to run 3-way L/R, 2-way center, rears and a sub...but I am sure that is asking too much.

Please, 8 channels has taken them about 1.5 years and counting........don't throw any wrenches into the mix until its out!

Yeah, I guess just getting the product first would be nice.

Not sure that means much. To design it, they had to have written a technical specifications manual anyway months (well, at this point years) ago. They could have probably written an owners manual a long time before product can ship.

NICE!! I hope its all its cracked up to be. Only thing is WHY 8 channels and not 10?!?!

You'd be surprised.

I just take it as another sign it will eventually come out.

Yeah, my company makes VERY expensive VERY specific electronic devices used in the scientific field, and I can tell you for a fact that the owners manual is the LAST thing they do. Sometimes it's done after the first couple of instruments have been sold LOL.

Can't wait to read it. Then again.......JBL manuals suck @$$.

 

[Daishi]

Trust me you don't want to read it. Written usually by French Canadians and they don't really care that their english isn't very good

I emailed Andy just this week. From what he has told me, it will be out by the end of summer. That is what I am shooting for.

 

[kkant]

End of summer? For a user manual and some boxes? Hmm...

If that's true, something tells me they're not yet actually finished with the MS-8 itself.

4-5 months...it's a bit long but doesn't seem that unreasonable, depending on where they'll be sourcing the printing/packaging/etc. fwiw, i don't remember them saying user manual and boxes are all that's left...it's simply what they're working on at this point.

 

[LastResort]

After this amount of time, I would assume they are picking a very outside date. What's two more months after 2 years?

 

[monkeyboy]

I know a while back Andy said he was going to quit making assumptions and shoot for a worst case date. He was tired of having to tell us it was delayed.
