I'm very partial to the TK2050 amp chipset. Maybe some of these prebuilt boards would work for you:
These by Helder-Hifi: TK2050 MKII - Helder-HiFi -EBay ( ebay store: Helder HiFi items - Get great deals on Electronic Components, DIY assembled PCB's items on eBay Stores! )
These by HifimeDiy: Hifimediy|Amplifiers. (I'd take the T1 or T4.)
The TK2050 chipset sounds simply amazing, if it's in a well implemented design. I haven't heard those, but I have 41Hz Amp11 and Amp4 which have the same chipset. The sound quality is just ... very, very good.
Edit - For example, a friend of mine has an Amp4 in a professional recording studio, and sometimes uses it to mix on. He loves it, and his mixes sound great.

Okay, when i get home (i'm in the mountains now) later tonight i might take a look at 41Hz. I would prefer buying from Sweden than buying from Asia.
Yeah41Hz don't sell preassembled though :/
If i feel i lack the skills to assemble it might be able to pay somebody else to do it
These are supposed to be pretty good too.

Killer for the bass, i'd guess not as finessed as NAKSA mid-top

Not just a little!
But, wouldn't it be possible to source the parts myself? Or, i'd still need the PCB...
For both, I'd say. These amps are good at driving fullrangers as well as complex loads, and bass handling is excellent too.
Which type to get depends on the load config. If you're going to be using one amp channel per driver, you can go with the 'lighter' versions, while you might want or need the higher-power capable ones if you're powering multiple drivers per channel and you need the higher wattage.
By the way. What made it impossible to have the EL70 and SDX7 on the same baffle? Wouldn't that make it easier to place them in the room? Since one speaker will be in a corner and the other next to a door.
The Emotiva XDA-1 in USA costs $299 with shipping. For me it costs $520 including shipping, customs, VAT and other fees. That sucks...
And the fact that they have to include shipping in the value makes it cost around $35 more than necessary. CSS was nice and did not include shipping while Emotiva says it's against the law not to... Differences between Canada and USA?

Not impossible, although you'd definitely want separate enclosures for each driver if a "conventional" box
I guess theoretically any bass driver could be used in an "infinite" or open baffle alignment (many examples of the latter abound with all drivers mounted open backed) , but based on experience, the SDX7 would not be best suited to either of these types.
yup, some countries are victims of more bureaucratic / import tariff suckage than others
