Its been a long time since I actually posted something but I read the forum almost daily. This is just one of those times I felt I really need to chime in. I had an epic 80 v2 system in 6.1 surround in my version 1 setup. When we remodeled the house last spring I was able to move to a 7.1 setup. I talked to Brent and they had some ver 2 drivers still around so they built me a QS8 ver 2 at a very reasonalbe price. Ken call them and see if they can do the same for you.
