Hey JAUQO,
Don't you think it's about time to give this topic a proper burial and let's all head over to the bar for a cold one??

why should I,it's not bothering anyone and plus this is what tB is for and about.with all due respect I wouldn't ask you to cut your thread.but when it finally die's down(and I'm sure it will) maybe we can go have a drink(you a Beer and me some kind of juice)if you're still up for it?
In my personal opinion, I like, and can perceive the low notes, but only for so long. For instance, my ear gets tired of listening for the notes down that low for a long period of time. Don't take this the wrong way. I really like the sound of the way low register, but only for so long.
I didn't know there was any debate on this subject. Low B is about 30 Hz, humans generally hear down to 20 Hz (which is an E an octave below the E on a bass), and even if you can't hear it, you'll definately feel it (provided a good sound system) and there will be plenty of harmonics that will make it obvious what note is being played. Whats the argument about?

Well as it stands, 65% of voters can indeed hear the low notes. Quite frankly, I don't see how you can't when most people can easily hear the low C# on a piano. Um, not that the low C# on a piano is the same note or anything.
Even my old ears can hear them. However, I seldom want to. I prefer Picasso's "Blue Period". I can still see the later things he painted, but I don't enjoy them and would not pay money to see them. I enjoy Bird, but Coltrane is pushing it and Sun Ra is over the line, but I can hear them all.
