I put in my own target curve which is very similar to if not identical to the Harman curve, and it's hard to find a flaw with the sound, though it seems to eat into how loud I can play everything. Frankly, the proposed correction of the already EQ'd Metas and LS50's above the Schroeder frequency was so slight, I didn't see how it would hurt to either use or not use it. I also measured and corrected full range. Since Dirac corrects each speaker individually, using that speaker not affect the correction on the other speakers. Ultimately, a found a junk speaker, and drove it with my THX AAA 789, so JRiver had a center channel. The hardest trick on the multichannel for my 4.1 occurred b/c I don't have a center channel, and JRiver won't pass anything but a 5.1 channel to Dirac. (you must have a microphone boom for this to work. Surprisingly, it does not take long at all to do, b/c 8 sets of them are left/right pairs which merely require the boom to be reset from one side to the other. That method calls for 17 separate measurements. I ran the wide correction for home a couple of times b/c I've set up both a stereo and a surround sound (with LFE by JRiver) use case on my PC, I picked the widest listening area b/c I find it better corrects the room. Since I make JRiver my default audio output device for everything, I quickly realized I had no use for the standalone but I will keep it installed in case I want an alternative pathway.
