...from the 70s, 80s, 90s. Every tune sounds absolutely AWESOME! No speakers to be heard, perfect imaging side-to-side and front-to-back, huuuuge stage and crystal clear.
How is it the Chinese knew how to record performances and the Brits, Canucks and Yanks didn't?

A few of those Mandarin songs are covers of Teresa Teng, there wasn't much pop culture coming out of communist China before the 2000's. I remember HK-pop and J-pop was the in thing back then, long before both got inundated and buried by the K-wave.
That bass mix was a nice confirmation that my system's settings are dialed in and that Dolby Digital upmixing is magical.

My bass is dialed in but my house is not. There is absolutely nothing I can do about my house and everything in it sympathetically quaking with the bass.

I bet another pair of ep800 would smooth out the house response. It will work. Trust me.
Plus a bit of tar.

I've determined the 125s, 500s, 600s have undesirable resonances.
I'm trading them all in for eight 800s.

That would also do it. I was going to say that but I thought it would sound crazy. But now that you have opened the door I think you have to follow through. I Added a giant 10x14 area rug and a big cloth recliner into the great room. It actually made an appreciable differences. Everything is a little tighter smoother and rounded and grounded. Definitely an improvement in sound quality. It’s really cool that that actually made a tangible difference. I need a second sub. Or rather I need 2 good subs. But the single sub is definitely better than no sub. Love it. It’s so satisfying. Here try out this…. I’m sure this tune has made the rounds but check it out. It’s got bass down in the nads. https://open.spotify.com/track/7G7qAvwD7kGBRnY9D1G0o3?si=TZ6I7DD5TX6RnFmCqC9VuwEnjoy! Ps. Still waiting on a thick underlay for the carpet too. I’ll see if that adds some further absorption.
