Thanks dilly! I really like the deception of your surfaces, like 7A's [hearing results], 2D's [with five], and I think the definition in 3D is fantastic. ([Intersection] is a new cryptic indicator to me, but mathematically sound.) The timing-based rhythm of 4D is neat.
7A: RULINGS around MB
8A: ”whether” homophone
2D: MM in [hoa]GIE (“gimme five”)
3D: [sl]OW/[t]OW[n] intersection (i.e. shared letters) + LET
4D: [basi]E x3 “covering” N[agasak]I
5D: ”rye” homophone
6D: [s]A[y]S[w]H[o]
