Actually what I'm suspecting here is that this

dynamic response *isn't* linear, at least not in regard to bass. It
seems to almost act as though the bass is reacting with more dynamic
range than what is actually there, at least with reference to other
playback systems. Sorry if that's totally wrong, but that's just
what I think I'm seeing.
Unless that system has a multiband dynmics processor built into it,
that is just not possible. Bass *allways* seems to have more dynamic
range than it really has - just look at the equal loudness curves,
they are very close together a low frequencies. Which means that
small objective changes produce a large subjective effect. If you
don't hear the bass at low volumes, that means there isn't enough
of it.
