The interview was really helpful Chris, and got me to go back a re-run a full frequency DIRAC sweep on my NAD M-10 system.  As you discussed, I had previously stuck with audiophile lore, and only corrected from 500hz down.  I also widened the measurement field from 9 to 13 locations.  Everything got better - imaging, tone, and overall balance, and my new SVS Micro 3000 sub is fully integrated with my main speakers.  

The software is still crashy on my Mac, and I do wish DIRAC Bass Live was available on more hardware (it's only been 2+ years since it was announced).  Thanks for all you do.

Great to hear.

This highlights the need for systems that ensure all the inputs to the speakers can present the same information to the speakers.  I want my system corrected for both streaming and CD, etc..  It also makes it harder to find the right solution.
