RE: Subs are sub optimal with magenpans!

I'm getting distortion in one channel, now. I thought I might have blow a ribbon, but the problem goes away when I turn off Dirac. Obviously, Im overdriving something after the filter is applied, but oddly, it never occurred before I tried the bas-mgmt of the P5. And it goes away when I switch back to the Hi-level settings on the sub.

It's really the opposite of what I'd expect. When I take the load ( <50Hz) off the maggies, they act like they're trying to output too much bass.

Searching the internet, I did find instructions from Dirac stating to not put bas mgmt downstream of Dirac. But I can't understand why that would be. There's no way for me to use Dirac software on my Mac Mini AFTER the Parasound P5...

Any thoughts? I've probably recreated the filter 20 times. Different phase setings, volume levels of the sub. With and w/o the xover set on the P5. Higher/lower xover settings on the sub... Always the same problem.
