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??

Too much bass? Absolutely.

Every new car I've purchased in the past 15 years or so with "premium" sound systems (Land Rover, Lincoln, BMW, Volvo, Nissan, Toyota, VW) has had horrible, boomy bass. The H/K stereo in our current X5 seems to have less of that problem, thankfully.

Oh, you meant home stereo?

Nope, no bass issues with any of our three systems thanks to careful speaker placement and bass-friendly rooms.

Yes! Unbelievable how a car can be so good in driving experiences and yet be so bad when listening to music.
