Ok I've tried it for myself in my setup. At the beginning I thought I heard distorsion, but it was my own fear that I heard. When comparing these sequentially there was no doubt in my mind that I hard MORE of the signal with +3dB fronts.

Bravo George!

I'm ofcourse interested in what Meridian thinks/responds with, but until they do I will run with +3dB fronts gladly. DSP8000 and DSP7200HC with HD621+G68.
