From what you describe when using the P5 bass management with the Dirac it seems that you are getting an overload of the speaker and possibly some over reach by Dirac in trying to flatten out the room.
That can be caused by the calibration measurements for Dirac when run through the P5 with your settings on the P5. Those settings may not be realistic and require lots of correction. So I suggest you optimize the P5 settings and the location of the sub and measure the FR and phase response with REW so that you do not have large corrections for Dirac to make. Then run the calibration measurements.
What you describe with the P5 in the way indicates that the mains portion of the freq spectrum is being corrected upwards to match with the sub output- which is likely being set too high on the P5.
Another option is to restrain the correction Dirac applies to the speakers to the bass fraction of the freq spectrum, say up to about 200 hz.
On a general note, the measurement of dipole speakers is not easy and setting up the measurements for the calibration you should look to average them on a squat window of about 2ft width around your listening position, not rely on a single location.
