Ended up getting a V1500, the sub was much bigger than expected! System now flat to 20hz, -4db at 14hz.

Yeah I think the DIYer and the OEM target audience does not overlap enough to make a difference. Might be tempted in building one of these once Ghent Audio releases their solderless case packages.

This is very tempting, wished the units came with line level outputs/DSP. I'd either need to gamble on the integration, run a miniDSP box and/or a passive high pass filter...

Denafrips Hyperion. And the glorified on/off switch: But because of the remote I can place the amp in an obscure/inaccessible location! I know the pictures doesn't do the amp justice, I'll take some better shots in the weekend, probably some internals shots as well! Much thanks @Dacman

Play around with this: https://amcoustics.com/tools/amroc. You can even move around the room and see where your nulls/peaks are, this will help with placement and positioning and even tell you the amount of absorption you need. I think people overestimate the amount of effect room treatment has on the FR response. Sometimes if the room ratios you're using is unfavourable there's not much all the treatment in the world can solve. EQ is much powerful tool in that regard, especially on the low end. And room treatment is used to fix issues that EQ cannot solve alone. I added offsets to the measurements for easier visual comparison. First set = no eq, second set = REW + rePhase auto eq 20-400hz, third set = sonarworks, fourth set = REW + rePhase full range with house curve being slope at 500hz to -6dB at 24kHz.

Built some simple basstraps. Couple sheets of polymax xhd (250mm) on a Ikea MULIG Clothes rack, a few planks of wood for support and some velcro tape. I could have wrapped it up in acoustically transparent cloth to make it look nicer but can't be bothered. And surprisingly it isn't too hard to move. Estimated performance: Going to try my luck at building a wooden QRD diffusion panel for the backwall next!
