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?

Undoubtedly the low bass in some recordings is more pronounced than in others and the desire to get up and make sub adjustments is hard to resist!
I`m sure that most people starting off with sub`s do what I did and run them too loud. In my modest experience that tends to subdue the rest of the frequency range especially the highs. 
The best setting is where you can notice how much better the overall sound is make when listening with and without them even though their contribution sits in the background.
