Assuming the plots are correct (I have found an error with a different speaker) The S1 is one of the most accurate speakers SAMed so far and needs only a small correction whereas the Q1 bass amplitude is very low without SAM, quite a long way from the target, so there will be a lot more and lower bass with the Q1 with SAM which may well exacerbate bass problems in a room.
If I had Q1s (and I am a big fan) I would do what was necessary to the room to get the full benefit of SAM rather than turn it down, personally.
OTOH that is likely to take a very long time and be a pita, it was for me when I had this listening room built...
