@Tony: I suggest you check with Meridian and make sure your DSW is running the latest firmware. I had the same experience when my DSW was originally delivered. The bass was muddled and sometimes I couldn't tell if it was on or off. Sometimes, I found the bass worse when it was switched on. Thanks for the suggestion but I have already loaded EBA enabled firmware and it completed without errors so I doubt that it is likely to be a problem. Your experience is interesting however. Did the Meridian rep give any indications as to if this was considered a fault? Until fairly recently I had applied no firmware updates and bought the DSW not too long after it was released so it is possible this was a problem. I will probably have to do some listening tests to confirm. Cheers, Tony.
