In days past we didn't have subwoofer control. Your system just played the bass notes as they were produced on the album. Some albums had little bass and some had room shaking bass. Your job was to get your system to sound right and correct playing unamplified music to get the bass balance right. Once set, that was it, and you just played your albums as they were.
Today, I find myself adjusting the bass all the time but mostly because of the Fletcher Munson Curve and the loudness level I am using at the moment. As I play louder, the bass gets turned down and gets more natural.
