Syzygy subs came with a trouble free automatic room correction feature that was run from a iPhone app, but you have to shop used since they went out of business during COVID.

ARC on the ML subs works well for me. Just used my iphone as the mic with the app from my listening position and it cured some room issues I had no problem. Also used the Velodyne SMS-1 management system with dual Bag End Infrasubs back in the day when I had more space. That took hours to get right. |
My short answer: I have two SVSs in my HT room and a single JL Audio Fathom 112v2 in my two channel room and they are both excellent in their application. I'm very pleased with the results of the JL room correction. The JL sounds very fast, smooth and well integrated with the mains. Fair disclosure, I have full bass traps in my two channel room.

If you’re using a -6dB sub-bass speaker/s they roll off around 40Hz and simply do not output enough subsonic frequency to excite most rooms standing waves. I’m guessing your using one or two satisfactorily right next to your main speakers which are typically located in the rooms null? Actual subwoofers output a far lower frequency which can excite a rooms standing waves. The subwoofer crawl IS exactly the gimmick that easily demonstrates the reverse locations of most, if not all, the rooms standing waves for subwoofer positioning in relation to the listening position. A four sub distributed bass array can eliminate a rooms standing waves all together making the crawl moot. Either method does not require a purpose built room.
The ability to process and compensate poorly recorded bass or to simply to kick out the jams with punched up deep bass is really fun audio nonsense. Your happy, we’re happy. Don’t forget the sunscreen.
