The GR open baffle sub designs are intriguing. The uncolored sound without the box, quick settling time, and the way it loads the room may be the better option but more expensive. I always see GR OB subs flanking the OB main speakers, not in a DBA, but why not in a DBA? The Rythmik G22 dual opposed sub is also tempting, has the least boxy sound (for a box).
The bass array concept makes sense to me as room correction really improves the perceived tightness in bass. Best to start with a smooth room response before calibration.
I've got a Parasound P5 on the way for some bass management, mainly for the high pass to relieve my tube amp from sub 50Hz duty, and reduce all those midrange smearing vibratiions in the lively Tekton DI cabinets.
Integrating a sub without both a low pass and high pass crossover seems tricky. I'll soon find out what a difference a high pass makes.
