RE: The elephant in the room is...

A big ten-four on that!

If "audiophiles" would actually open a book (not to be confused with a magazine or brochure) and learn about the harmonic structure of various instruments, they'd learn that most of what they're hearing when they listen to the very low tones on, say, a tuba or bass violin (string bass) or pipe organ, are the first couple of overtones, not the fundamental. The first overtone (second harmonic) is almost always at a much higher level than the fundamental.

This is one of the reasons why I keep recommending Harry Olson's "Music, Physics and Engineering". It's a treasure trove of knowledge needed to gain a basic understanding of sound, musical instrument sound characteristics, how sound behaves in rooms, and more.
