@bishop148 The point is not more bass! The point is to get the bass right. If the bass is deficient, the ear will perceive the system as being tilted to the highs; if there is too much bass the ear will perceive the system as being muffled in the highs.
What you say is true, however if you were use a low cutoff filter at 40Hz. With most music I doubt if you could hear the difference. A subsonic filter cuts in about 40 Hz and I could never tell the difference apart from stopping the excess movement of the bass speaker.
