Why so obsessed with bass?

Such a obsession to deal with bass issues.  Why is this?  
On a sub if there is too much rumbling simply turn it down.  
As far as mains these probably are not much of an issue for most of us.  However for bookshelves speakers it makes sense they really aren’t well designed for lower range frequencies.

I think folks are liking the rumble through their bottoms, and THEN discovers it’s actually when the wind gets knocked out of your CHEST, is what they are looking for. NOT vibrate STUFF off tabletops in the next room.

The CHEST pump/BUMP/ whatever you want to call it, is what most folks like, NOT the SUPER SUB.. stuff.. The difference also is HOW that enclosure was designed, A Bass Bin, or a Sub.. A sub enclosure is usually tuned at 100-120 or below. They are normally used as SUBS 60 hz and below..

Bass bins.. 250hz and below, and they may be using a band pass enclosure with and XO to boot.. They are not subs, BUT they can do sub duty quite well, Especially horn loaded subs, VERY directionals.

They use to use them with a topper too. Mids and highs on a bass bin.. Panels, Electro, 57s 60s.
