No. Moved thousands of miles. Moves states, moved countries. Not practical to ship 200lbs speakers around with me. From apartments to townhouses to large houses and back. And yes bass response correction can be useful- I’ve
been there done that (Before ASR was founded): Here’s one of my speakers from 6 years ago with Dirac in 20x30x12’ room.
A full description and plans are now available on Curt's website! (http://speakerdesignworks.com/Statement_II_1.html) My musical reference! Statements II – An evolution for the music lover! The Statements II are the result of the Finalists project which focused on achieving the best midrange...

But room correction is not a golden bullet. You cannot separate acoustics from rooms and speakers are no different. One of the sad things about the loss of retail is that you don’t get advice about your room anymore.
Is this a good speaker for you? Well yes maybe that depends on your needs and expectations.
If all your speakers have all been under 1 cu ft then yes; very impressive. If you have a medium sized room eg. 35m^2 floor space then yes.
But if you’re used to speakers bigger than a fridge like Dynaudio Evidence or KEF Muon, and all your friends have studios or dozens of guitars or synthesisers, well then maybe not so much. Bob Katz has the M5P I’m confident they run circles around this little 8361…
“Room correction” is excellent for poor acoustic environments eg. Motor vehicles; cramped space or speakers with way too much bass. But in good spaces improvements are subtle.
I’ve done the whole multi sub thing too (2x 15”, 4x 10”) but I haven't had a Stereo Integrity 24” sub yet; so of course I think what I have is good.
People new to the hobby need to listen to Erin Harrdson’s “there is no perfect speaker” YouTube video.
I’ve friends who have both Porsches and Ferraris…and there’s is no perfect car… for a person who drives Toyota’s and Mazda’s (me) … of course I thought there was one car to rule them all..
Have fun and it’s about the journey not destination…
