RE: How much bass do you need or want?

Posted by farfetched on March 6, 2021 at 11:22:43:
When I am in the mood to hear the distant sound of a lorry passing outside the studio, my subwoofer takes care of it fine.
If best bass on this board simply = extension, I'll refrain.
But best bass -- from a musical perspective -- simply does not often require the sound of a lorry passing outside the studio.
SOMETIMES it does. But I would not sacrifice the fleetness of my LRS's to relieve my ML Depth sub of those rare duties. And for those who are curious, no there is no such thing as "timing" when it comes to the sound a passing lorry outside the studio or hall makes.
As for ambient LF, yes it exists. But again, there is no "timing" in it, so just give it to a sub.
Organ enthusiasts will have to forgive I truly can live without being able to listen to "Organ Pedal Fiesta, Volume 12!" just using my maggies w/o a sub.
LRS's are tuneful to 40hz at ~70db listening levels. If you want the stones in your medieval keep to shudder, no, won't happen.
But my room is approx 12 x 17.
Best bass..... oh brother.
