[QUOTE="CBFryman2, post: 2472547, member: 565445"] If you want a flatter responce...sure. But in every genre from Rap to Jazz to Rock to Reggae you want a bass/midbass heavy system. It just sounds better to the ears. You want the kick drum pumping in your chest and you want to experence the lowest notes on the bass guitar, not just hear them. Most people will find that their ears do not enjoy the sound of a perfectly flat responce. Most will want a low end heavy system with a dip just above most volcals and then a peak right near the tippy top. This is what sounds most realistic to most.
