While I agree that low bass is hard to arrange, and it can muck up your sound if less than well integrated, I disagree that it is absolutely necessary for good sound.
In fact I think that a system that rolls off early may be preferable to one that has plenty if muddy bass.
One of my systems uses electrostats that are 2 dB down at 45 Hz and they are wonderful for non-bass heavy music. Better tan they would be with supplemented bass badly implemented.
