I just wanted to give a small update on my setup...
Found a good deal on a Monoprice 8" subwoofer (I know I know, cheap sub probably quite bad... ) and did some measurements with my conference microphone to try to dial it in- it worked surprisingly well.
was unable to find a way to get a high-pass filter for the Wharfedales with my amp/DAC (Loxjie A30) but I measured it to get a very smooth transition from the little woofer to the mains.
so, Loxjie A30 + Wharfedale Diamond 12.0 + Monoprice 8" subwoofer is where I landed! total cost at about €600 with cables.
I am very pleased with the setup, even if I wish I was able to EQ it a bit and smooth out some small issues (a small ~260Hz peak for example, I assume it is a room issue) but not able to since my setup is controlled through my TV.
the rest was surprisingly smooth at my sweet spot (in REW I used 1/12 smoothing, so no cheating I think) even if my mic seems to cut out at around 8kHz.
important thing is, it sounds nice, I spent much less than I had expected to do, and it measures quite nice even in my janky living room.
