Did you ever buy too much bass?

I talk a lot about bass and integration of subwoofers in a system and I realized that I need to hear more about the experiences auidphiles have when they go buy speakers and put them in a room.  Did you look at specs?  Did you audition in the home?  Did you end up with too little or too much bass compared to what you were expecting??

I've never seen a subwoofer that wasn't capable of supplying way too much bass.  Whenever I've tried to integrate a sub into my system I've had to run it very near the bottom of the volume range, so much so that I've considered installing a low range volume control pot to get more granular volume control.  In the end I bought speakers that didn't need a sub.  I still use a sub on my secondary system and it certainly could use a low range pot.

I did audition SVS pro subs and they were excellent.  then I decided to go with the subless speakers.  SVS pro allows you to adjust the volume from your listening chair, which every sub should do.
