Please consider the whole system. You got speakers with frequency
response starting at DC or a 1 Hz?

You got speakers with a FR that includes 6 Hz?

In the room yes, and that hardly makes me unique.

I have a friend that has a system that has somewhat rising response
at 6 Hz and within a few dB down to 3 Hz.. You can bet that speaker
systems like this aren't based on tiny stuff like 6 inch or 8 inch
woofers.

I have a hard time with even conceiving of something like a 6 or 8
inch woofer as begin a subwoofer. Do you know of anybody with a 6 or
8" "subwoofer", Weil?

6 Hz is within a mere 2 octaves of 20 Hz.

Perhaps it is important to say that we can generate infrasound by
opening suddenly a door for example. This generate low frequencies
which are infrasound. )


Agreed, no joke. Slamming a door seems to be at least as effective.



The question though is if you recorded the event and took out the 6 hz
component, would you be able to reliably pick out the "substandard"
version in a dbt? And please, no more kick drum examples to muddy the
water.


You are wrong Dave, the original question was :
"Are infrasounds important for HiFi reproduction of a live experience ?"
