New Update - Way too much midrange

How long does Sonos to fix an update? My arc sounds way too piercing in the midrange. It's just too sharp sounding now. The arc also has less mid bass with a now overwhelming mid range sound. 

I wish to go back to the original settings. Even the sub has suffered the low end isn't as solid; sometimes the sub is barely heard. I adjust the EQ and sub level and still not satisfied. This update is no good.

    But it's strange that one or two "lucky ones" in the community said they don't have any problem like volume drops etc...

     

    Sound is subjective.  I hear things my girlfriend laughs at me about.  I have a friend who actually said to me once "I can't hear the TV, the volume is too loud."  It's obvious there is a significant number of folks who are very unhappy with these changes, why piss and moan about the few that don't hear the changes?  Their lack of criticism does nothing to invalidate your subjective opinion.

      After last weeks updated for SONOS ARC, I immediately regret and even auto tuning cannot make my system return back to previous best sound.. SONOS, please return back to me..
