I'm not an expert, but it might be that your speakers do not really respond to the low A (~27Hz). Check the speaker's response curve.


Reminds me of a saying in jazz circles

"Listening to brass through a recording is like photocopying a steak and eating the copy"

Some accoustic properties just can't be properly captured through microphones that aren't perfectly selected and reproduced through speakers engineered for the specific recording

This is true especially for the low end (without prohibitively expensive 18"+ drivers and a near flawless accoustic environment to minimise standing waves and any other issues etc)


That's a hilarious quote.
