Here is a website with information that may be interesting to you. It is from TNT and describes instruments and their frequency range, as well as their volume.

It is surprising to most that the concert piano goes down to 27.5 Hz. Of course, there is synthesized sound, organ, bass drum, and even cannons (1812 Overture)!
If you believe the tests that sub manufacturers have done, there is subsonic information that adds to the perception of sound. Plus, everyone has different sensitivity and abilities to perceive sound frequencies. I believe that most reproduced music in our homes needs a subwoofer to deliver all the information. I use a Hsu VTF-3R Mark II below 50 Hz underneath my Dynaudio Audience 70s (measured at -3 dB at 34 Hz), and, in another room, an REL Q108E under my Von Schweikert VR-1s. Good luck!
