Also, revisit music that you thought was just awful in terms of distortion; you may find humbly that much of what you thought was in the recording was in fact incapacity of the system to reproduce the music faithfully. So much music that is disdained among audiophiles for purportedly being poor sonically is in fact being reproduced poorly by owner's systems. When a system becomes good enough the realization hits that much of the compressed music is not nearly as bad as reported. I'm not saying this in regard to the genre, but in regard to the sound quality�.
For instance, Lorde's "Royals" is a good piece to assess one's LF. The low throbbing beat, and the strong bass line, is actually very tight, extremely well defined when one has a system capable of reproducing a note under 15Hz. It sounds like crap to many because their rig is not even close to capable in handling it. So, the recording is inappropriately damned by audiophiles, when in reality it should be the system's LF capacity that should be damned.
Daft Punk is a gimmicky sound, imo, but the LF is good for assessing systems. Here the LF seems wretchedly loose, ugly - that is, if your rig can't play it well. With a capable system to handle such things the LF is clean, quite interesting. Perhaps 20% or less of audiophiles' rigs can do such music with excellent fidelity. But everything from symphonic to chamber music is benefitted. Vocals are substantively superior, with more color and warmth.
Many laugh off suggestions that such changes could cause a sea change in the system's performance. Many are as derisive of the importance of LF as they are the importance of cables. In many respects cables as important as the changes you have made to the LF. I suspect you do not believe that, but perhaps seeing as how your eyes have been opened to LF, perhaps you will also discover some things about cables as well. (Remember, this comes from a once adamant cable skeptic). For instance, cables to subs, both power and signal, are hugely important in terms of quality of the LF. I completely ignore people who declare this or that about what cables can and cannot do with subs. I build far too many rigs to care what they say; I get incredible results and tune LF continuously in rigs.
You have much to explore and a lot of fine tuning over time to do. In six months it will sound quite different than now, much better, if you keep at it. :)
