Well-said
And me let add this because this is, imo how music is produced today and it shouldn't be.

Music isn't supposed to be bass heavy. It is supposed to be a base for the rest of the music to be supported upon, this is why if you listen to music on a small radio you hear mids and highs and it sounds ok for what it is, but put a full range speaker system in it's place and suddenly the music truly comes to life. The opposite of this is the 'norm' in today's hifi world where bass is overdone to the point where the bass takes over and doesn't let the music breathe. The pursuit of a balanced sound is what audiophiles are after. Clear and present bass, but balanced against warm, smooth mids and sparkling transparent highs. If these are all proportioned correctly you get something in the realm of magic.

To OP: I thought music is suppose to come from the front not the rear?
