Music in the 40-80 Hz range


I've been low-passing at 40 Hz with a 24 dB/octave slope to a pair of Velodyne HGS-10s, because the 3 dB down point for the KEF Ref 1s is claimed to be 45 Hz.  Yesterday I inserted a passive fully balanced 80 Hz high-pass filter to shunt frequencies below 80 Hz to the subs and raised the low-pass to 80 Hz, both 24 dB/octave.  But I wonder if it might be preferable to have the 45-80 Hz range reproduced by the speakers rather than the subs.  How much music is in this range?

Advice sought.

If there’s very little music below 80 Hz and our hearing doesn’t go above 10 kHz I guess we can all go back to boom boxes. What a relief! 🤗
