Bass frequencies are essential . Even if you think there is no need of it as in listening to a female soprano. Speakers that play above around 60 Hz sound clear , clean , pristine. When the speaker can plays lower frequencies transparency and detail very often suffer. Reason being lower frequencies require care in speaker position. Sometimes the speaker does not couple with room boundaries, or the room acoustics are unsuitable. Hence a limited low end extension speaker will sound better. Takes time and patience to get the room acoustics treated and speakers optimally positioned . When done right the sound just clicks in and all is good. The same applies to subwoofer. It is important to choose a full range speaker or stand mounts with subwoofer to match room size. Then to get an amplifier to synergise with speakers. Too often we buy speakers without considering the room .
Why so obsessed with bass?
Such a obsession to deal with bass issues. Why is this?
On a sub if there is too much rumbling simply turn it down.
As far as mains these probably are not much of an issue for most of us. However for bookshelves speakers it makes sense they really aren’t well designed for lower range frequencies.
