I'd vote for poor woofer alignment.  Boomy/flabby bass seems to be big,
especially in the low-to-mid price range.  Almost everyone today tries to
get a tiny driver to reproduce very low frequencies and still reproduce a
wide range of frequencies.  Results: flab.

Close, but still a definite second place, would be crossover design.  A few
extra dollars here in positioning chokes, using better capacitors, and
spending some time with the realization of the network's design would vastly
improve the performance of most loudspeakers made today.
