i'm guilty! Guilty of at one time transposing enormity for quality. No longer though. I';ve also sought out those squeakers which had the lowest numbers and suspect many have, whether they admit it or not. I feel audio maturity takes time.
Present circumstances dictate to me or for me, more bass prominence is a good thing, though not to the point where it obscures anything above it... been there & done that too! And liked it! Until I heard it differently. Differently and improved.
Perhaps it is a matter of hearing ability, knowledge, preffs and experiences... all together which ultimately places one onto what I hope now for myself is a more mature method of replaying music. Now a days, balance is the more important item, yet again, a degree or three more bass info works for me and that's a huge step upwards from my just 4 years ago position on the matter... as I don't articulate the areas below 50Hz or so too well, I do enjoy feeling them.... especially with films.
In fact way, way more with films than with musical pieces. Apart from the virtual sonic candy mixed into a great multi ch soundtrack, I do dig that swelling up bottom end when it comes, every time!
