Different subwoofer settings for different albums?


So a dealer I know told me that he doesn’t use subwoofers and doesn’t know anyone who does (!) because he finds that every record has different levels of bass and would require a new subwoofer crossover point to properly blend with the main speakers.  Anyone else have this experience?

In days past we didn't have subwoofer control. Your system just played the bass notes as they were produced on the album. Some albums had little bass and some had room shaking bass. Your job was to get your system to sound right and correct playing unamplified music to get the bass balance right. Once set, that was it, and you just played your albums as they were. 
Today, I find myself adjusting the bass all the time but mostly because of the Fletcher Munson Curve and the loudness level I am using at the moment. As I play louder, the bass gets turned down and gets more natural. 
Great topic.

The spinoff  thread - do you break audiophile protocol and make technically incorrect adjustments to enhance the experience?

On some recordings, listening to them on a well planned/technically "correct" setup reminds me-Yup, the recording is what it is-relax and let the sub do what it does. If you're listening in a living space and expect to hear what some are, all bets are off.

A new crossover point; no, a different amount of gain; maybe. Considering that the acoustic properties of your room differ from those of the recording and mastering venues not to mention the amount of contraband in use at the time, it is possible that the balance between mids and lows could be off, but it is rare. Usually it is just a few stray frequencies that are off that muck things up.
Thanks everyone.  I don't want to divulge the name of this dealer because I think he has been very helpful in other ways and nobody's perfect, right?  But I will use my subwoofer and I will not worry too much about needing to mess with it from record to record (or streamed album to streamed album in my case), knowing that all of you are enjoying subs every day.  
You don’t want to divulge the name of the dealer? He didn’t do anything wrong -- he has a view about audio and he’s willing to state it. You’re protecting someone who has a greater ability than the average person to defend a view about audio. Why do that? If it's because you suspect they actually can’t defend themself, then you should consider whether they deserve to be a dealer in the first place.
