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?

Tight authoritative bass. Listen to live music. It's seriously tight with no soft, bloaty bass. Even a bar Jazz trio has tight bass.

The reason for going with sealed subwoofers for music.
