If you want to keep the stock non-BA head unit, AND you want a clean, flat base to start with, you're going to need a clean-sweep or an IMPRINT or some other integration processor to help with the EQ.
On the other hand, I'll sell you my stock BA head for $100.

I have a non-BA system I am upgrading and if I can get flat EQ response over the full volume range, out of a $100 swap-a-roo, something like the AudioStream LC7i or LCQ-1 sounds a whole lot less appealing. My amplifiers do crazy amounts of custom EQ setting, but when the signal attenuates, it shifts the volume knob over to the amps instead of using the headunit which isn't ideal. I was considering the AudioStream stuff ... but like I said, I'd love some proof of the BA systems flat EQ claims. I'm sure you'd make your $100 off me if it turned out to be tested and proven.
PS: Your links do prove the EQ settings are not flat coming out of a non-BA system, but in the post you linked there is this:
"Both units also have a "LOUD" circuit that bumps up low end with rise in volume control."
And there is no mention of attenuation, just the generic EQ curve.
edit: I am not sure you ever made the claim about attenuation. It's a problem I've been trying to overcome, and I might have injected my own thoughts into your post. So I guess the question is, does the BA vs Non-BA actually do different things when changing the volume? An EQ curve can be fixed, but a dynamic EQ curve seems like a nightmare.
