For what it’s worth, my old listening room was 11x18.
I tried a multitude of dynamic speakers in that room, from line source, point source, sealed, and ported. Admittedly, I never tried dynamic OB.
Every dynamic speaker I had in this well treated room always had some bass deficiencies. It was maddening. Nothing helped, treatments or positioning.
Last November I purchased a pair of SoundLabs M645s, and the game changed.
I moved three months ago, and my new room is smaller then before, 11x14. Its not completely closed behind the listening position, as there is an entryway/exitway leading to another room.
Still using the M645s, and I only sit about 5 feet from them, very near field.
Love the sound. I have been busy, so they need fine tuning and adjustment still, but they still do so much right.
IMHO.
