Low bass, whoow
Call me a saddo, I don't care.
I have a copy of London Grammar - If You Wait. The first track is known to many I guess, Hey Now.
It has a fabulous bass line on it, which comes through superbly on the set-up I have.
I was wondering what the lowest note actually was, so I measured it off the sub with my frequency counter
Turns out it was bottom C, or C1 if you prefer, that's 32.7Hz, wow !

Some recordings of R. Strauss's 'Also Spract Zarathustra' (used in the film '2001 - A Space Oddessy') use an organ having 32' stops, producing a note of 16.35Hz. In most recordings however, the opening organ note is 32.7Hz.Call me a saddo, I don't care.

My humble Quads (not noted for their bass performance) easily reproduce this note, but not with sufficient weight required to satisfy bass enthusiasts.

The lowest bass I have ever heard was on a Batman movie recording on some KEF blades. Subsonic ground shaking stuff!

Played that track loud a couple of years back at Scalford. When the bass kicked in, it modulated the vocal and sounded like a robot voice. That's what happens when you put a driver in a sealed box that's far too big.
What does this do?

Jamie xx - Gosh is quite fun for bass.
Nebula -Visions of paradise is a beautiful dnb roller with real bass.
The Bug - Freak Freak is a goodun too.
