There is a difference between good and great integration.
It's not so hard to get good bass. The main issue is that subwoofers affect the whole FR - no matter if you use high-pass filter or not and how steep the low-pass filter is. Even sounds that don't have any fundaments in bass range, like cymbals are greatly affected by subwoofers - pretty much the same as with Devialet SAM.
BTW, I'm not saying it's impossible, but I'm yet to hear stereo system with vented subwoofer(s) which sound good by my criteria. They are just too slow and not precise/tight/controlled enough.
