I actually can understand why some people want to hear too much bass. It's the same reason stereo reccivers have a "loudness" control......more bass makes a fuller sound. It teases the ear into thinking it's thicker, better, more powerful. For a dancer, the bass is what drives the beat, not the drums, and if you are a bad dancer, like I am ..... more bass gives you a feeling in your gut that you're already in sync with the music. it's a lie, but hey - who's to judge?

The bass response in the Bose is more proportionate to any sub system I ever heard, yet the younger the crowd, or the more hearing loss ..... the more they need the bass to be grossly UNproportionate so they can "feel" the music.

I "feel" it at all levels, and my dancers seem to appriaciate the balance and reduced ear fatigue. It's a new way of thinking, and some people will never give it a chance. One thing is certain, at 53, I will never lift a 50lb speaker up on a stick ever again. If I need more coverage .... the venue will have to provide additional amplification. My setup is too, too efficient to even think of changing it.
