I agree with you that room interactions are the biggest issue in the bottom two octaves.
Imo there are much better options that throwing in the towel on critical listening. No, I’m not talking about the technique whose users you object to in your blog - our preferred approach is not practical for northman’s situation. I’m talking about adjustability in the bottom two octaves.
Without knowing specifics about the room and the constraints it’s hard to say what northman’s options are, but the Dutch & Dutch 8c suggested by djones51 will work well in a very wide variety of room and situations. Among other features, it has adjustability in the bottom two octaves.
