A good bass sound is appreciated by classical fans as well.

Here I go, agreeing with BobY again!
One thing though is the difference between classical and (for lack of better word) modern.
The difference in the sound is similar to the clean cut of a scalpel (classical bass) and the THWACKTHUMP of a cleaver weilded by a heavy hand.
My stereo can make the water in a glass dance to the tune of Ode To Joy, and makes me tingle all over!
But it doesn't hit me in the pit of the stomach like the THWACKTHUMP of the augmented base staccato beat in a modern piece.
wow
