Subwoofer adjustment for each recording

I have dual REL subwoofers using high level speaker out connections as recommended by REL.  I have KEF LS50 meta speakers.  I am happy with my subwoofer crossover and volume settings most of the time. However, with some recordings the bass seems too strong.  Should I adjust the bass at the subwoofer?  Should I adjust the bass with my preamp?  Should I just listen to the music as is, since this is what the producer, engineer, or musician wanted.  Thanks.

Some recordings have a lot of bass. Sometimes when you go to clubs and hear music live, there's a lot of bass. Other times, other recordings, there isn't.


I like to play the recording and have it sound like it was made.
