That ultra-low impact you get with some recordings is artificial, the result of equalizing.
True. I've heard plenty of artificial bass.

When I did the four-sub comparison a couple of yeas ago, one of them practically brick-walled at 30 Hz, while the others went lower. The sub with the lowest extension sounded the best, while the one that went only to 30 Hz sounded the worst.
I haven't done a comparison with a brick wall filter. I'm sure that its important to have the extension. I compared curves that level off, with curves that continue to rise. I noticed no bloating or loss of detail with the curves that continued to rise. (I haven't listented too any pipe organ music yet, I'll have to try that.)


We are the Shack. Existence as you know it is over.
We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own.
You will be mapped. Resistance is futile.
