It's not so much a "boxy resonance" - cabinets, even ported ones, absorb the energy of the cone and then release it over time into the room, distorting the bass transients and textures in the time domain. It's just physics. The energy pumped into the box by the cone has to go somewhere, and even if the box is super stiff and completely non-resonant, it's still going to store energy then release it back over some period of time. The least offensive of the monkey-coffin bass reproducers are well-made transmission line speakers which seem not to show this problem as mush as other box types.
And it's not just the fact that there is a cone acting as the piston instead of a panel: open baffle subwoofers give you the closest match to "panel speaker" sub-bass around.
I started with ESL-57's then set up tri-amped MG 3.6's using DEQX and then added Rhythmic/ GR servo open baffle subs, with another DEQX. (The DEQXs not only provide linear-phase crossovers, they also correct for amplitude response, phase and group delay.) So... yeah, there's a certain sound that I really love when there's no box.
