Which is one reason why the humble set of bass/treble controls is so
useful (for boosting bass on bass-light recordings, not for room
correction).

I don't understand the concept of "bass light." There's the bass they put
on the recording, if it seems light, then I guess you should have some way
to enhance it if you want, but are you sure you just don't like distorted
bass?

Heh. Yeah, pretty sure. If there's enough bass on the disc, I don't
boost it. I honestly cannot figure out why so many recordings are
just so light on the bass. You go to a bar and listen to a band, and
bass is plenty strong. Throw in a CD, and the bass is weak.

And this is't my system. This is on all systems that I've heard in my
lifetime.

One thing you could try that cheap and flexible is
http://www.djmart.com/preq3bafupae.html $99.00 and you've got a fairly
simple flexible parametric EQ.

Looks like it might be fun to play with, but not the best mate for a
"high end" stereo...
