I have a V1 NAD T758 (Non-Dirac). I'm looking to upgrade to something with 2 sub inputs that will room correct for each one. I have 2 10" Speedwoofers up front next to my mains (I would sum these into a single input with a splicer), and then a 15" HSU ULS sub in the corner of the room to fill in the ultra lows and take advantage of corner loading gains (would plug into 2nd input, obviously).
That said, do any of these tests matter if I end up using the room correction? Meaning, if I went with a used 36/3700 Denon for XT32 (~1-1100) or picked up a used (~$5-600) Anthem MRX520 and ran it as a pre to a power amp ($600 Buckeye) in order to use ARC, does it matter that the 3600 measured so much better in these tests? I only have a left and right as far as speakers go, so I run a 2.3 setup. Music is my main focus, all from digital sources. There's a bass suck where I have my speakers and 10" subs, for whatever reason, which is why I NEED the room correction.
