The other threads regarding bass got me thinking about many audiophiles' attitude towards bass.
You often read about the unenlightened being too bass obsessed & how "realism" & "accuracy" is more important
The "experts" also rhapsodise about how true hifi should sound as though the artist was performing in your listening room.
Now the last live performance I saw was Brit Floyd, whose sound system was first rate
Guess what though?
You could feel the bass in your chest & through the floor, it literally (almost) took your breath away.
So could it be concluded that in order to believe you have a live performance from your home system you do indeed need huge amounts of bass?
