Understood.

It's just that most of the time when I suggest a subwoofer to someone and they say "oh, but I don't need bass", it's usually because they're envisioning a slammed Honda Civic with an oversized tailpipe going boom-boom-boom down the street. So that's why I answered the way I did.

But I see that you know the distinction, so I don't have to try to convince you any more.
