Thought I'd bump this back to the top now that we have an 861v8. George, can a v8 be added to the poll?
I'll be going through an entire system upgrade and plan to compare this tweak to the latest hardware & firmware. If anyone else has done so, please chime in.
1: 808.6 Anniversary, 504, Sony ES Bluray player, Apple TV, Trinnov Altitude 32, 7200SEU l/r/c, plus for immersive audio
2: Theta Compli Blu, Apple TV, HD621, G61RSL, B&W Sig 8NT l/r/c, & Runco Plasma
3: 861v8, 504, Apple TV for streaming 3100 l/r/c

John, are you aware that, since v6 firmware (for both 861 and G6x), the Direct and Stereo presets no longer have the +3dB headroom that this tweak corrects for?
There is still +3dB headroom on Trifield, but if you applied the tweak, then Direct and Stereo would be messed up.
Finally, the latest versions of the Meridian Configuration Program enforce +0dB as the maximum calibration offset for DSP speakers.

Joel: do you know if that also applies to the G61R's latest firmware?

Hi Chris
When VK refers to G6x I think he means all products in the series, not Wadsworth 6X but the two go well together on the right occasion.

Indeed, I'm referring to the G61R and all G68 variants. I *think* I'm also including the original G61 as well (the one that doesn't have room correction).
BTW, I have just been told indirectly that the Trifield front L/R are always at 0dB - I cannot confirm nor refute this at this point and it's really difficult to measure because one expects the overall SPL from Trifield to be greater than that from Stereo. The claim does appear to be true in the case where Trifield is used with a phantom centre (i.e. a centre is not present in the Music speaker layout) and this makes sense if the front Trifield processing is bypassed completely, as one would expect.

Hector So long as sufficient separation is maintained between beer and processor I would agree.

Hehe ... well I was curious since the G61R is 1.x right?
