Not as much an " Obsession " as an appreciation. 
Question regarding subwoofers
+ 1 @turnbow, adding; a sub enclosure with two drivers ( 8" for example )will displace as much air as a single 16 " driver.Larger Drivers are heavier and benefit more robust motors as would any driver.Servo feedback subs tend to be accurate IMO.

Another Bass discussion...
No thing wrong with a bit hot ... artistic license ... could even improve aneffect ... also more subs has a similar effect similar to equalization and smoothing any size room. 
How can I establish a reference level?
+1 @arion, with high volumes being one thing to be aware of when listening, repetitive lower level exposure is cited as a hazard as in industrial settings.A good HiRez playback System like a Live Music Hall event draw in and demand ones attention....
