I solved this by putting the sub (with is next to the fronts), 3 meters behind the fronts with the use of my processor (in a virtual way).
Yep, you're using time to solve a crossover cancellation. I see no problem with that.

In stead of solving almost every bump in the respons, I've applied some smoothing and only focussed on the big picture. Now I can manage with 3 correction filters, where I needed 6 before.
The theoretical rub with this is that if you use smoothing on low frequency measurements, the filters optimised against a smoothed response will have settings that don't accurately match the room's modes. The result may not reduce the decay times of room resonance as well. Have you done a comparison of waterfall graphs between the newer 3 filter results and the older 6 filter results. You can use the waterfall overlay feature to compare the two. Check for decay time differences.
