How do you mean this? Did you just run automatic mode in the Meridian config app? That is known to do close to nothing. Or did you follow the instructions from the wiki on this forum? That will give much more effect. Unfortunately in my experience that is even not enough. If you have serious room modes and lower the decay too much trying to cope with them, you will loose a lot of bass (and slam). I spend much time on this, experimenting a lot with my own system and other peoples systems, but eventually found out how to fine tune the MRC manually without losing the bass and get a consistent bass response both on different locations in the room as on the frequency range, removing the room modes almost completely.
