Subwoofer boom is too much for me...

Could I tone down the boom on my subwoofer by plugging the port with something like a washcloth? Have you ever tried this and had success?

Thanks for your thoughts.

I have subwoofer in from DAC amp and out to bookshelf for both channels. Sounds great now. I still think a good pair of floor-standers would sound better, but for now, I'm happy.

Same with the double basses in an orchestra. The low notes resonate, but they don't bowl you over.
