it's when you can easily follow the bass lines (bass melodies) rather than just "feeling" the bass notes

that might be a characteristic of the tune rather than the system.
The West Coast "JBL" sound had a frequency bump in the bass guitar and vocal/lead guitar zones of the spectrum. This could be tuneful.
My Rogers LS3/5A had a bump at the bass, the famous(?) BBC manipulation. I didnt find that very tuneful. I thought the West Coast JBLs had loud bass but not very tuneful. An old Tannoy Westminster with one 12 inch driver had a mesmerising low end tune. I cant imagine a bookshelf speaker with a 50Hz low end having tuneful bass, not even a designer Pioneer.

The frequency manipulation the BBC used and was famous for was the so called 'BBC dip' at around 3kHz.
A slight dip in that region makes almost everything sound 'nice' as at elevated volumes that is where human hearing on average is the most sensitive.
