So, I followed up on Craig's suggestion and have been playing around with placement of the 30.2s. I turned the sub off to fine-tune the position of the mains, and I'm using a laser "tape measure" to measure the position of the mic to each speaker.

This plot is from my "#2" listening position, which is along a diagonal; there is effectively no back wall in this config, as the speakers fire down a 30' long hallway. This is how I listened to my Dyns for many years for "critical listening". The speakers are 9 1/2 feet from the mic; the speakers are ~2 meters apart per Harbeth's guidance.

This plot is double the resolution of the previous plot, with a 1:6 smoothing and is the average of both the L and R channels. Target SPL is 75 dB, so the horizontal reference line is set to that in the plot.



I dunno, this seems to be lookin' pretty good....as Craig mentioned, it looks like I want the sub to bring up just the range under 80 Hz.
