I feel many on-list would have pretty impressive rigs. Especially rigs which can reproduce unreally low bass, if people just let them. Mine does, even if it's just a well damped stereo pair, of two closed speakers, run at high power to counter the external MF/HF damping that I happen to have.

In that vein, have you all listened to what the current list hits do with their bass range? To my ear there is some funky stuff happening there at least. I mean, take even Avril Lavigne's Skater Boi from a few years back. The chorus is pure middle range, but at strategic points in the song, you have *huge* bass loads, and even differential stereo ones. That's no accident. It's being done on purpose, because when you first grasp it, you can immediately tell that the other media are being hindered S/N-wise by the bass overload. Nothing else is being sacrificed in this way. And it's happening with pretty much everything on the R&B chart right now.

Why? Especially why so that the low bass isn't being steered to the middle, but is being processed in stereo? While pretty much nothing else even in the lead vocals is?
