My point exactly. There is more to the bass than low frequencies. Very few
people have speakers capable of reproducing 31Hz tones, but you can clearly
hear the pitch of Will's low B string over the tv.  It's not about low
frequencies, but rather about what you think you are hearing. Most of
the character of bass comes from low mids and some from high mids (unless
you
are hearing it at high volumes in a club, when the low freqs take
over everything...).
