"get your speakers set up right and the bass gets very clear and articulate. Don't set them up right, and that is the source of 98% of why people are dissatisfied with the low end of their systems."

As has been discussed here and elsewhere ad nauseum for decades, and is true.

"98%" is an expression, not a factual statistic. It's like saying "giving 110%". Nobody can give 110% of their effort - 100% is, by definition, the maximum. It's an expression.

Clearly, matching speakers and amps is essential, but room setup can make or break even a great match. That's the point.

Edit: Having said that, playing music in nightclubs and other smallish venues often doesn't give you a lot of choices about where to put the speakers.
