It is fair, I think, to say that our listening habits and musical tastes dictate the composition of our systems.
Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass?
Today I compared a McIntosh 462 to a Moon audio 761 amp. Both sounded really good. I noticed the bass was tight on the Moon Audio 761 while it was not tight on the McIntosh 462. Both on Dynaudio towers (do not know the model but they go for about 14k).
It is hard for me to know which type of bass I would like better in the long run. The tight bass sounded awesome and the non tight bass sounded more fuller. Curious, do most people prefer the tight bass or the non tight bass?

Your speakers+amps pairing should be able to reproduce the quality of bass that’s on the recording. @gdaddy1 and @audition__audio +1 on sealed LF enclosures |
I don’t disagree with your post, mind you; just to play devil’s advocate though, I’ll say that digital instruments allow us to hear sounds and orchestrations we’ve never heard before. I’d say that’s a good thing, and I respect the opinions of those who think otherwise. I listen to a lot of electronic / digitally produced music. One day, it struck me that the music to which I was listening had never vibrated air until my speakers reproduced it. Think about that! Pretty interesting, isn’t it?
