Shouldn't the Bass be felt? Duh

Oh thanks for all the great comments. I am currently rebuilding my old VMPS Tower II floor speakers. 7 drivers per tower with 3- 12" woofers in each. They are capable of delivering the bass and are biamped vertically with a pair of NAD 2700's. The room is small but it is what I have.
I wonder if the pair of Monitor Audio Silver 8i's, I have would give better sound if I add a sub? How would that be tied in? Should it be self powered? The Monitors are pretty new and more accurate.

I am not foolish enough to think I can duplicate the concert but my point is let's not forget the bass. I want the good mids AND the bass.

Glad to know there is some support out there for the concept of paying attention to the bass. No, I don't want overpowering bass, muddy bass etc. Let's reproduce what is on the source for a change. I like what Pbb said.."the bass separates the men from the boys..." Does PBB mean Play Big Bass? lol
For me if I listen to a piece that has good bass and it is not being reproduced by the system it usually a problem with the owner's attitude toward bass. I mean if it were important wouldn't it be addressed? I know the room size ais a major factor but can't adjustment be made even in a smaller room to properly try to get the lower notes out of any system. Bass is a stepchild...bass is forgotten and so lonely and ignored by too many Aphiles. Oh you want some low bass? try Jennifer Warnes..The Hunter- Way down Deep intro...
