While it might be you or the barrel that's the problem here, my intonation on the Series 9 Bb I own is noticeably better with a Chicago Kaspar (unfortunately, getting another one of those would be fairly difficult) than with a Vandoren M15, (what probably is closest to a 5RVLyre in interior dimensions that I have) both woth the original 67mm barrel, especially in that region of the horn you mentioned, although it wasn't insanely sharp to begin with. The A is still noticeably sharp though.
I don't recommend a Backun fatboy(that model specifically, at least) that you mentioned on a large bore clarinet like a Series 9-it's designed for a clarinet with a much smaller bore, and the only one of them that I've played on a S9 messed up the twelfths. A MoBa barrel I briefly tried seemed to be better, although I wasn't testing it with a tuner, so their other models might be better in tune on a larger bored clarinet.
