Having been convinced SAM v2 on the Facts gave an even deeper bottom end but with less 'bass slam', I felt it was so different I needed to re-measure and re-create my Dirac filters.
To my huge surprise, the graphs look practically identical, and if anything have a touch less bass at the very bottom end.
Of course this wasn't scientifically done as the mic positions wouldn't be the same, and I'm not sure what volume I used for the fw 7.1.1 sweeps, but still it's very interesting.
I wish I had time/inclination to measure a sweep for each firmware at the same position/volume and see if there are any clear obvious differences. Not saying a measured sweep tells all, but as a newcomer to measurement it's been an eye opener. I.e. Perhaps some of the perceived changes were imaginary - the bass difference seemed really clear to me both times I've ventured away from 7.1.1 but there's nothing to show that in the graphs for 9.
Looks like 9 will get at least another week.
