Kijanki, thanks for your response.
I listen to mostly jazz, some classical, some world music.
You are correct, four string acoustic bass is more common in Jazz.
In my personal system evolution, listening to an extensive jazz collection, I have found that speakers capable of doing 30 Hz in-room are (for me) are mandatory to really enjoy the bass line.
I use a 31 band RTA plus my old ears to measure in-room response and adjust speaker positioning.
The worst case scenario (again, IMS) is a speaker that resonates near the acoustic bass lowest note. I assume that a speaker that is tuned at 55 Hz will go out of control below 40 Hz, as most bass-reflex tuned speakers do.
Sealed or infinite baffle speakers behave differently but are quite rare these days.
BTW Keith Jarrett seems to use frequently the lowest notes on the piano (as part of block chords). Listen to his masterpiece Live at Carnegie Hall for some punchy piano bass lines. Aaron Sparks and Brad Mehldau also come to my mind, not to mention Mr. Piano Bass, Cyrus Chestnut.
Enjoy the music
