Why do people blast bass so loud that it completely drowns out the mid and high range? This completely ruins the music. I don't get it.
The point of high-end audio equipment for me has always been to reproduce the live sound, not to exaggerate certain frequencies at the expense of others.
When the EQ looks like â–€ â–€ â–„ â–„ â–„ it sounds like complete shit.
Although I somewhat agree, ultimately settings are going to be dependent upon the format, style and veracity of the source audio.
There's something to be said for a bass-line so deep-seated, it's tones are not only heard, but felt... Uncle Bill puts it best, to my way of thinking...
"Bill Lee: Did I ever tell you about the man who taught his asshole to talk? His whole abdomen would move up and down you dig, farting out the words. It was unlike anything I had ever heard. This asshole talk had sort of a gut frequency. It hit you right down there like you gotta go. You know when the old colon gives you the elbow and it feels sorta cold inside, and you know all you have to do is turn loose? Well this talking hit you right down there, a bubbly, thick stagnant sound, a sound you could smell."
