The CD Pomp & Pipes! (Reference Recordings RR-58CD) has some of the loudest, deepest bass you'll hear on any recording, thanks to the combination of the Dallas Wind Symphony and the giant concert organ in their hall. The ending of the Widor piece on track #8 (about 5:50 into the track) is huge. I've taken a snapshot of the sound here:
Pomp & Pipes - Track 8
You can see the HUGE 16hz note on the left side of the chart. My PC+ 16-46 is in a corner about 6 feet behind my listening chair, and the back of the chair shudders when the note plays. I used this segment to test the difference made by tuning the 16-46 to 12hz with a port plug. In the 12hz mode, the 16hz note was about 2db louder.
