I can not think of a single valid reason to do this. Ofcourse I do not know your precise (861) config, so maybe you want to elaborate? As you already stated yourself, it is very difficult to get it right, and I personally doubt that you will ever get it really right.

Well, I run MRC with a single sub attached to the 861, with all bass crossed over at 30 hz. I then add in the other four subs, and manually adjust them for physical position, phase, and output level to get as flat bass as possible at my primary listening spot (measure by SPL meter and by ear). This was the only way, in my room, that I could get flat response down to 20hz. Perhaps I cannot ever get perfection, but it sounds a heck of a lot better than it used to in the low bass (and better than any other home system I've had the opportunity to hear).
