I know how you feel. I went and listened to the 716V and the 816V. They were both fantastic, but now I have to decide if the 816V is $600 better than the 716V.
The 816Vs were broken in and the 716Vs were not. In fact they only had about 3 hours on them. Plus, they used different electronics with them, so it's not an easy decision.

So you did not compare the S series with the V series?

I wish I could hear the 800V compared to a 700V series

No, sorry. They did not have any of the S series speakers.
I did ask the sales person about it and he said that the V series is definitely an improvement, but being a sales person of course he would say that.
Sorry I can't be more helpful.
