While I do love classic rock, I would not say I am a bass head. I do love viceral low bass which when in the program material I feel in my gut (not kick drum bass but lower frequencies) due to pressurizing of the room, which for most would mean the addition of large subs, and it will likely be required for my objectives as well.
I am strictly an analog music listener for all serious sessions, but do have a digital system and do stream to find new music to purchase on vinyl.
It is difficult to hear many brands of speakers without serious travel here in Texas. I am trying to narrow some choices down to then make strategic trips to listen to speakers that are within budget and the type of sound I want. I am not a lover of analytical speakers, preferring a more smooth and impactful sound. The Rockport Lynx's I heard were exceptional and so were the Avior II's but they were set up in much smaller rooms than mine.
