I don't oppose to dealers charging for a home visit, but if you bring items to the store for the upgrade, it should be free.

For anyone who has had his G68 upgraded, do you have to re-adjust any settings after the update?

I wish I could do the update myself also & would like to know if any settings needed adjusting in the G68 following upgrade. I don't want to lose the benefit of the +3db tweak if at all possible.

Why can't we just download it and agree the terms and conditions like any other manufacturers software updates ?

Also i found this write up of a visit to the Meridian factory in 2007:

'When you own a Meridian you can sleep at night, because when we make it better it will be a firmware upgrade, free of charge. We're posting it on our website all the time'. John smiles: 'Most of Meridian consumers are just consumers, but a few of them are real techy geeks. They've got their own website: 'The hitchhikers guide to Meridian'. They'll come to a show one day and whisper 'by the way, I'm a hitchhiker'. They are on the website all day and downloading the latest firmware and experimenting with room correction. Serious enthusiasts, I love them!'

The good old days confused
