Carl,
Ok. Yes you do not want to have to power down the C15 every time you want to put the processor in standby mode but surely it can't be that complicated to figure out a way to put the processor in Standby without powering down of C15??? A lot of dumber systems than Meridian do this......

I am particularly pleased with the improvement to Stereo and Direct. I never used the +3dB tweak. There used to be a rather large difference in sound between the two. Stereo was softer with a smaller soundstage compared to Direct. Now they are much closer together as I would have expected. My dealer is still waiting for the cable to update the SL speakers. It should be sometime this week.
Regards,
Bill

You can use an AC11 to update SL speakers. Check if your dealer knows this.

Although I use 861v6, my speakers are fully analog (no DSPs). Has anyone done the firmware upgrade to 861v6 with analog speakers and, if so, are there tangable improvements? Thanks! My firmware is upgraded on my V6 and I do not notice any difference with my analog setup. If there is it is slight. Not being able to go back to the previous version means that I am trusting my memory though. Just to be sure I have the latest firmware version , my v6 displays 6.03.

Try switching between Direct and Trifield - No drop in dB now I still find Trifield louder than direct.

According to Rhonda Wilson at HH2, power is not preserved across the front three speakers in Trifield vs. Direct/Stereo.

Well 3 speakers vs 2 speakers. But now 2 speakers have +3dB and Trifield do not.
My dealer have upgraded all Non-SL speakers and G68 so far. So only the 7200HC is not upgraded.

We also do not KNOW what Meridian have done with Trifield........and Yes, I've read the Release Notes
And we certainly don't know what the Output levels in the Front L&R Are in Trifield.....the +3DB Tweak is one thing......what Meridian have chosen to do is quite another.......let's not mix them up

The only proper way to compare is config system for just 2 speakers then compare Trifield with meter playing pink noise.
