How important is bass to you?

Inna-

I tend to agree w/ your situation. As a Jazz Head, I too, enjoy correctly reproduced Bass. There is a plethora of it in both LP/CD discs. We know that it is buried in both grooves and bits. In 2015, we (audiophiles) deserve the very best gear that can extract all of this wonderful information. Acoustic and electric Bass is where its at.

Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

I can't say I like it much, but it's unusual - three different bass guitars together. Must have a lot of deep bass, but I can't hear it! I just got computer and Grado 225e phones that are separate from my system. Start at about 5:30

This prompted me to run some Bass test tones through my system, JMlabs original Micro-Utopia and suffice it to say I was pleasantly surprised to hear usable output into the upper 30's. No wonder I don't feel like I'm missing much with my speakers that I believe have a mfg listed low of 50hz -6db. I guess in room response is more useful. Sorry if that's off-topic but thanks for inspiring me to check that out!

Earlier this week I saw a band playing live. The band had a bass player, but it didn't have a midrange or treble player. From this I conclude bass is important to the band's music.

Onhwy61---Ha! One reason I asked Inna if by the lowest bass did he mean 20-40Hz, is that the lowest frequency produced by the standard 4-string bass (both electric and acoustic upright) is 42Hz, on the open E string. The output of many loudspeakers is already dropping like a rock at that frequency.
