Say you have full range loudspeakers with multiple large woofers, or restricted bass response loudspeakers with separate subwoofer(s).
How do you know how to balance the bass in your room with the other frequencies of the audio spectrum?
Do you use an audio test album/disc with a SPL meter, and your ears while listening to the acoustic bass accompanying Diana Krall or Patricia Barber?
For the purists, without subs; do you adjust the bass control behind your speakers, or on your pre/pro?
And, is there a bass control on your pre/pro? ...Or even behind your speakers?
For the non-purists, with subs; how do you feel about DSP subwoofers? Or would you rather have a DSP pre/pro to perform the task?
Brief, bass management by any method available to get the best sounding bass in all its referential purity. And how is it supposed to sound?
...Acoustically married/balanced in perfect synchronicity and phase to your room and ears and measurements.
Last, can you reproduce accurately ... say a drum kit? ...The lowest note of the piano? ...Of a synthesizer? ...Of an organ?
