My last speakers were Salk Songtowers. In this room bass was good...really good. For me, no need for subs. They were fine...let’s just say...I worried about other things than if subs were needed.
But my last house. Holy smokes! The mid bass was a shade less fullsome...but low bass was much deeper. On some tracks it just took my breath away. I could not wrap my mind around how deep 38hz felt.
But 38hz...measured in what way? I guess every manufacturer ’presents’ their numbers differently. Just like every room presents sound differently.
