I listen primarily to ambient/lounge/chill whatever and metal.
Run some frequency sweeps. Here is the one I use::

The guy actually calls out the frequencies so you can see where your system is lacking.
Ideal response would be as flat as possible down to 40Hz, as that is about as low as metal gets bass wise.
In my situation, I have Totem Arros in a small room, and through mass loading and careful positioning with respect to the back wall I am able to get surprisingly good response. Otherwise, I would peruse the various publications that show measurements with bass down to 40Hz and shortlist those speakers for auditioning.
