The world changed 15 years ago when main speakers began reducing the size of bass drivers.
I think humanity is suffering because of this.
Now all the modern day components have to deal with this issue but they couldn’t so now everybody has to buy large subs to address this deficient issue main speakers now have with smaller bass drivers.
So people wanted main speakers that looked better in living rooms because they were thinner. But this didn’t work out too well did it because sound systems now have to use a pair of subs and that creates problems when it comes to floor real estate.
I like somewhere between tight and non-tight. All about comfortable listening and migrating away from precise monitor like speakers.
