Rubbery British Bass

That's exactly how it sounded and sounds. I auditioned tons of Brit speakers back in the 80s and 90s. They all had the peculiar bass sound you've described, and "rubbery" is exactly the word that came to mind.

I think it had to do with their designing for typical, tiny Brit homes, and the peculiar material with which the walls of those home and apartment units were constructed. I recall reading about that issue in some Brit audio magazine.

Even today, I still find that Brit speakers have weird bass. Less than before, but it's still there.
