90% of the brains processing power is between 500Hz-15kHz. The region that processes sub-500Hz looks more like an afterthought, barely any brain tissue dedicated to it.
So, the 500Hz-15kHz would be universally the most important frequency range, and is key for natural sound, because that's where our brain is the busiest.
There's so few audiophiles who aim for natural sound - most go for controlled / processed sound, so nobody really cares about this region where 90% of the brain tissue is concentration on.
What each of us perceives as key aspect is highly personal.Bass certainly has a special role, as its perception is also through the body (internal organs resonating) and not just the ears. Makes for a big added layer of experience, for good or worse.
