Great experiments. Do you have the actual numbers or just these screenshots from an app? If you have the numbers you can plot the pointwise differences, which will highlight visually what you're writing in the descriptions. A scale on the Y-axes might be helpful too because you're scaling the input and output differently. I have more suggestions but let's start with the numbers if you have them.
Yeah, the software I'm using doesn't put dB on the Y, I assume because the waveform renderings bear an indirect relationship to intensity expressed in dB, and there are like 17 different options for VU metering which I assume each bear a different mathematical relationship to the graphs. I guess the real way to do this would be to get an analysis tool that would plot its measured intensity (specifying what type of measurement is being used) against time as a graph, rather than just using waveform images. All of this is nearing the limits of my technical knowledge and I'm pretty sure my audience (Meridian and Jaguar) are going to ignore me anyway lol.
I know this forum reflects a wide range of experiences with JLR support, but I'm amazed and grateful that this seems to have worked out.
From Meridian:
"By way of an update, Meridian and JLR have completed our workshop on this matter and have submitted our findings to fleet management at JLR, for processing. Ultimately a release process will be decided internally at JLR and rolled-out to the appropriate customers. Presently, I do not have any indication on how long this might take.
The changes will see an improvement to the dynamics of the system at all volumes, and the performance at the very top of the volume curve.
We would like to thank you for bringing this directly to our attention and we hope you are as happy with the outcome as we are.
If there are any major updates or changes to this, I will be in touch, otherwise I’d like to wish you a wonderful day and I hope this update will allow you to fully enjoy your Meridian audio system."
I'll continue to provide updates, but for now let me just celebrate this. This is exceptionally responsive corporate behavior, and while I recognize that not everyone has had this kind of experience on every issue, I think it's important to call positive attention to it when it happens. HOORAY!

Wow congrats, that must be gratifying indeed! Let's hope they come through with an update.
Wow, huge news. I don't think they are explicitly committing to a release, but it sounds like there's a decent chance we'll see one. I would not expect anything soon (seems like we're on an annual update cycle now, released in/around November), if they do actually address this it will be massive. I hate the sound system in my I-Pace. Had effectively the same Meridien system in my XE and absolutely loved it.
