Is DEQX a game changer?
It seems to me that the user friendliness of the DIRAC was a major reason Stereophile seemed to prefer it to the DEQX. As far as I can tell, the DIRAC might not offer the advantages of custom x-overs that the DEQX offers. For those not interested ... 
Is DEQX a game changer?
Though I myself find a stand alone dedicated device like the DEQX much more appealing than software loaded onto a computer, it is interesting that though Stereophile gave the DEQX an enthusiastic review, in the very same edition they gave a prefer... 
What is better 1 bigger sub or 2 small ones
Will you be using the sub(s) as bass extension from 2 channel audio, or as a .1 dedicated sub channel? 
Brands w/ first order x-over, time & phase aligned
Bombaywalla, I was actually referring to the Quads and Sound labs that I mentioned in my last post. Sorry, if I wasn't clearer. :-) 
A fond farewell to The Allman Brothers Band
Great as they were, it's long time for them to hang it up.

Have thiel 3.6's. Will mcintosh ma6600 work?
Oblgny, I agree the 3.5's are worth repairing. IMHO, they have always been one of the top value speakers available. Your Pass amp is surely a lovely combination with them. Still, $300 seems a bit steep. Though perhaps a bit back in time; I'd hazar...

^One could always get a dedicated room correction only system and add it to properly designed from the ground up 1st order cross-over time aligned speakers. 
Have thiel 3.6's. Will mcintosh ma6600 work?
^Good to know! But, $300 each is a bit steep.Though it wasn't advertised policy, if the repairs weren't due to abuse, IME Thiel used to do repairs gratis, and only charged a house discounted shipping cost one(!) way, even for items that were past ...
