I assume this would not apply to my scenarion (via HD621 and 861v4)?

It moreso depends on how far away from the walls and corners you can place your speakers. You will get reinforced, modal bass if you're in the corners. MRC can help but it won't eliminate all problems. If at all possible, I would try and move my listening position farther away from the back wall or, at least, heavily dampen the back wall with acoustical absorption.
