"There might be some psychoacoustics at work here..."

Entirely possible. I've heard some speakers that go lower sound less firm and authoritative in the bass than others that don't measure as low. I've lost track of the actual numbers given for these two speakers. But the clear subjective impression I've gotten many times is that the Spendors are a lighter sounding speaker than the Harbeths: less firm (less taut, as you say), less weighty, thinner. I've heard the Spendors on 75 watt single-ended Class A Blue Circle BC 2.1 hybrids, 150 watt AG8000 hybrids, and assorted tube amps. They are lovely sounding speakers, no question about it but short us a bit below the belt, I think.
