Well, a prominent bass is an important feature of 21st century CD's!
Buyers install "hyper-amps" dedicated to having a chest-crushing bass...
several hundred watts of signal feeding sub-woofers...and the fact
that your car (or your apartment) produces a thumping bass that can
be heard for blocks around is actually their goal! Needless to say,
dance clubs take the same approach (promising much-improved hearing
aid sales in upcoming decades, if nothing else...?!)
