Not yet, but I'll try tonight.

Seems strange that your speaker would be ok with 88k but not with 96k
You're right that the two frequencies are pretty close together. My other thought is the G68 might be MHR encrypying based on whether or not the source is flagged as copy protected. i.e. It's an MHR problem in the speaker. I reverse engineered the G68 diagnostics from the 568 ones, so I'll take a look to see what the MHR output status is:

DSP VEAC 6/0/NE/0102.
- VEAC as per 568
- 6 is probably the sampling frequency
- 0 is ?
- N is MHR input status (N=not enabled, E=enabled)
- E is MHR output status (N=not enabled, E=enabled)
- 0102 - looks like it could be input stream status and output stream status

Often this will cause the symptoms you describe and it's very difficult to trace, as the interference will vary with weather conditions and local RF signal level.
Interestingly, one cable can cause the problem when to connected different components.
Are your cables original Meridian or some custom cable?
Cables are original Meridian. I'll swap the speaker once more, but I'm pretty convinced it's not a cable problem.

How would this affect one speaker and not the other four?

Also, you can try a concert DVD -they often have a stereo PCM track at 48K you can check with.
I'll do this.

I'm not sure we're to the point where we know conclusively that PCM @ 48K is the issue.
I think you're right - see my comment about MHR above.
