I don't remember all that 90s trip hop anymore, but I still remember that  
it was mixed for "sane" audio setups, to provide deep bass sound, that  
doesn't caused issues on all kinds of cheap and expensive gear. I can  
imagine that this music can't be played on modern subwoofer setups, with  
insane biased sound settings.

I never used subwoofers myself and I don't have knowledge how to use  
subwoofers, but I experienced disgusting setups when I was guest amidst  
strangers.

Standing waves, subwoofers that loud, that it was possible to localize  
them etc. pp..

Perhaps you experience such an issue?
