Many years ago when I got my first stereo, a friend I was showing it to said "Let me show you something." He reduced the treble, cranked the bass way up, and put the needle down to re-start the album (it happened to be my Live and Let Die LP, and of course the Paul McCartney song starts with a bang as it is). He thought high bass was such a superior sound that no one could disagree. I was very tactful of course, but booming bass didn't rock my world for some reason.
Where do you land on this? If stopping at red lights is any indication, a lot of people like high bass as they drive down the road to hearing loss. Not that the bass itself will hurt them, but if you can hear it through their closed windows and yours...

I assembled my music room stereo gear just to obtain a tight deep bass:my tube amplifier does not have any tone control or other equalizing jimjicks.Then I chosed Tannoy Prestige Stirling as loudspeaker,a legendary british brand and when Jerry Goldsmith's Twilight Zone-The Movie percussive segments play loudly you can hear the sound just shout at the stomach,going down to the very deep bass sound frequencies.It has nothing to do with rock or heavy metal,just having Jerry into the room with the orchestra!

Always turned down a bit for music
For spoken word recordings or radio programs with a male baritone/bass you have to turn it off because of the severe over modulation (at least if your speakers have woofers).
The worst is listening to music over the radio and then the announcer comes on and the distortion is unberarable!
