Different subwoofer settings for different albums?

So a dealer I know told me that he doesn’t use subwoofers and doesn’t know anyone who does (!) because he finds that every record has different levels of bass and would require a new subwoofer crossover point to properly blend with the main speakers.  Anyone else have this experience?

I don't have a problem with applying EQ. 

Using the subwoofer's level adjustment or anything else though.... Ugh.

Oh man.  Oh man oh man.

Subwoofers integrated correctly are glorious. 

If you find yourself raiding their gain, you probably didn't set them up correctly, and should consider actual tone controls.
