Opinion on target curves for Dirac?

Hello Folks

i’m trying out the target curves available on the Dirac live website and I’m curious if anyone has found distinct differences https://www.dirac.com/resources/target-curve?srsltid=AfmBOoqlKHpJb0vHSt44jxR46FMPEIq-yANkAqaaB16Xa52hWb4i0Vf2

At first hearing, maybe I am hearing a difference between the audio advice curve, The Storm audio curves, and the Harmon plus 8dB curve.

My system is 7.2.2 using an Arcam AVR 31 with Dirac live bass control.

At $249 it was a splurge purchase but I did find in my system it resulted in a much more neutral response, with a slightly meatier mid range and better soundstage, albeit at the cost of some of the lower frequencies. Switching between True Target and the NAD curve, the later produced a boomier, slightly more dynamic response but I definitely prefer the True Target sound. I've subsequently added a SVS SB-1000 to the system to fill out bottom end I felt I lost with True Target and I feel I've finally reached the musical plateau that I've been chasing for 40 years. Is the difference worth $249? For me, yes, but your mileage might vary and if you are happy with your current curve you might find the cash better applied elsewhere.
