"But it is possible to tune a vented box to mimic the rolloff characteristics of a low-Q sealed box (or maybe an even shallower rolloff) and in that case it sounds tight and fast."
True, but this is so rarely done and in the end kind of defeats the purpose of what the vented systems supposed advantages are. A sealed box is MUCH easier to design AND execute correctly (there is a lot of forgiveness in the dimensions and still get quite close to the right result).
Other than one or two vented speaker systems I have heard none that compare to a well designed sealed box bass system or large flat panel for that matter. Remember the NHT 3.3? It had a 12 inch sealed woofer system and gave prdigious tight deep bass...one of the all-time greats in that category. NHT's SW3 was using the same woofer and was a world class sub.
