I have enjoyed speakers using both approaches.

Without thinking about too much, as speaker dynamic capability increases, cabinet inertia becomes more important. A large, efficient speaker running a 15" woofer that is able to hit mid-20 Hz cleanly might require a more inert cabinet than a nice-sounding but low-efficiency stand-mount speaker running a 6 1/2 mid-bass.

But no, I have never liked a speaker then had second thoughts about its lack of heft.
