Good speaker placement in a good room will give you tight bass. This is not hyperbole.
I already had what I thought was good, tight bass and moved furniture around and the difference was remarkable.
I learned this back when I had Salk Song towers with double 5" woofers. I thought the bass could not get tighter or deeper from 5" woofers. They sounded like 10"-12" woofers after 6 months of 'exploiting' my rooms potential. No professional sound treatment was used...just a measuring tape. Subwoofer was put in storage.
Think of it like looking through a camera lens and believing what you see as pretty good. Then somone activates the autofocus and you realize what clarity really is.
You're listening to speakers 'through' your room.
