I picked up a CD that includes Saint-Saëns: Symphony No. 3 "Organ" and I'm curious.. I always thought that the final movement was supposed to have the deepest organ notes. Previously, I have only listened to the final movement, and have only done so with very lossy audio formats, but it certainly was earth shaking. However, on the CD I got, the deepest bass seems to be in the "Poco Adagio" portion, which I think is either the second movement or the last half of the first movement (sorry, I don't know much about classical music or how the different parts are distinguished/named). Parts of this movement shook my room more than anything has before. My questions are:
- What part of this symphony has the most powerful bass?
- If the final movement indeed has the deepest/strongest bass, do I feel that the bass is strongest in the "Poco Adagio" due to limitations in my subwoofer and/or characteristics of my room?
The signal path is CD to Onkyo TX-NR708 A/V receiver via optical, to HSU VTF 3.3 + Turbo via LFE cable.

) but I do plan on purchasing the Boston Audio Society one which includes the Boston Civic Symphony recording I believe.
