Do you prefer the bass from closed or vented speakers ?

All Relative,

large excursion have issues , better to have multiple woofers with smaller excursion than one with large excursion. Large xmax woofers are necessary when a high amt of low freq db levels and small size is a necessity...
 
It is possible for stuffed port "aperiodic" to make non-booming bass like a large sealed box speaker.

yes, it will have quite a lot of effect on that
basicly because you destroy the BR port
but maybe not perfectly ideal as aperiodic
you may need larger 'vent area'

and just because the vented BR alignment is wrong and results in boomy bass, the woofer may still not be much good for aperiodic or sealed either

there is another situation wher stuffing a port might help
say you have a ported design where the port isn't doing much good
then you are mainly only left with the possible bad side effects of the port
and the stuffing the port can give better phase behaviour
at least I have experienced this once
 
I hope you are not saying 2x 8" SB woofers will be better than a 12" SB woofer ?
Nope ....

Two 8 inch woofers with 4 mm xmax vs one 8 inch woofer with 10 mm xmax.

Boom has nothing to do with a speaker being BR or IB, it depends on room and/or speaker alignment.

BTW, made many a BR with highish Qt drivers (.6-.7), just need a larger enclosure, with the advantage of system getting below Fs of driver. It is the only practical way to get serious bass from small drivers, and it works.

vented with .6 qts ... BOOOM , Boom ... 🙂

one problem though may be that woofers with small Xmax often also have higher Fs

Not really define High Fs.... 🙂

I guess experimentation is the key... thanks 🙂

if it has good power, it will probably also sound that way
like, a 6" may not sound like much at 50hz, but a 15" might
and since the shown Veritas has 2x 10" woofers, it will probably also sound quite powerful, yes
or at least it might be capeable of very good BSC 😉
