bondmanp,
I think you are absolutely right. We were listening to some piano playback and my wife (which is not into sound systems at all) came over from the adjacent room and said, I almost felt someone is playing the piano in here. I don't have as much freedom in placement as you do. Right now, I have them about 4 feet away from the side walls and close to 2 feet gap from the front wall (maybe a little less). They sound pretty good. The bass was a little boomy before running Dirac but, I fudged the frequency response curve and lowered the peaks around 50-100hz and it completely eliminated the boominess.
I am sure the new amplifier is going to make a big difference.
The nCore modules are rated at 400 watts into 8 ohms per channel (although not continues), I will keep you guys posted as the system is going through changes.
