Sorry if that's totally wrong, but that's just > what I think I'm seeing. Unless that system has a multiband dynmics processor built into it, that is just not possible. Bass *allways* seems to have more dynamic range than it really has - just look at the equal loudness curves, they are very close together a low frequencies. Which means that small objective changes produce a large subjective effect. If you don't hear the bass at low volumes, that means there isn't enough of it.
