Anyone have an idea of what this really means? It means they need to test their firmware better.

I hope someone explains what that fix does. I'd love to know if there was some kind of bass rolloff or not.

Anyone have an idea of what this really means? This was an issue I encountered with v4.24 for the 861. There was noticeable low-frequency attenuation on my front speakers (ATC actives all around), especially the center channel, with lots of strange compression effects. I went back to v4.2 at that point, and have just successfully loaded v4.25, in which that bug was fixed. I presume the situation to be identical to the bug described for G68 v1.35. Regards, Roger

I up-dated the firmware in my 861 from 4.2 to 4.24 and noticed a clear lack of bass.
Meridian recognised the error in 4.24 and quickly released 4.25; I up-dated the firmware again but this did not fix my problem.
Contacted Meridian technical support (St. Edd) today and Edd recommended the following:-
Re-type the 861 to any of the default types (I used type 0).
Make a new configuration file from scratch (not easy with an 861).
Store the file.
Calibrate the system.
Carry out room correction.
Perfect; the above fixed the problem.
Bass is back and the sound is fuller, in fact I would say the overall sound is improved.
A big thank you to St. Edd.
