EDIT: you really can't hear that low, when I say the system could play it, it was more feeling the weight of the driver moving up and down, and even that took a true 3000watts rms in a 5cu foot enclosure with two 54" long 10"X4" ports.


You are deliciously nuts.

 

I mean that in the best possible way, of course.

It's not a well-mastered song, but the bass does reach that low.  On the D2000, if I EQ bass around 20-30hz up a good bit, the last of the 3 bass sweeps on the bassline makes the Denons vibrate on my head, but I hear very little audible tone to it.  If the song were to be played through proper large subwoofers that could reach that low without distorting, you might get a heart attack!

It is indeed fun.  I have a full range system and the sweeps are a hoot.

 

I don't think the mastering is deficient.  The track is highly compressed but I'm sure this is the sound they wanted.

 

Thanks for the responses and track suggestions.  There are always new ways to look at things.
