There is also one other factor George, placement of Front L/R vs. center. Most often the Front L/R are closer to corners/walls and that could attract some "boominess" from vented enclosures, more so than their sealed friends (DSP8k/DSP6k) IMHO.

I have noted your past description of DSP5.5kHC being less boomy than DSP5.5k before but I have not made that observation yet.
