So we are back to what do you want from your music. There is no one size fits all speaker. If I wanted to light up a big room with rock and roll, quads and book shelf speakers are not where I would start.
You sound like bass is a big deal for you. Here is a test for you. Go to what ever venue you hear the big bass you like. Then close your eyes listen to just the bass. It just might change mind about how tight it really is. If classical is your thing what instrument can create loud tight bass?
Of course if real is not your thing then create the system that makes you happy.
Enjoy the ride
