[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 801497, member: 549629"] I believe its because the midrange is a more natural sound than those low low bass notes, our ears are more acustom to how they are 'suppose' to sound. The midrange area is where things like human speech falls, and is easiest to detect anomolies. Set your EQ bumping some music until you think it sounds right, then change to talk radio and see how it sounds. most likely it'll be too bass heavy, but the midrange wil be close®. How much sub 50hz bass do we hear naturally? Very little. Most of that low bass we hear is generated, enhanced, distorted, etc by digital processors. Its hard to listen to it and relate it to a sound we hear in nature (other than man-made, through a speaker). I believe that's why sub systems seem to be so unbalanced with the rest of people's stereo systems, and why people seem to have more trouble deciding how bass 'should' sound. [/QUOTE]
