You can get a tactile bass transducer to help you with that. I use a Subpac S2 to recreate the tactile feel of a sub in the room. Takes some tweaking, but I find it helps a great deal, especially when used with the Realiser.
Thanks - looks interesting. Hopefully they will be available again if there is enough demand.

I appreciate all the responses. I got a used (but practically new) Warwick bravura HP sytem for 4.2k. it might not have the most visceral bass but it excels in everything else. I will try use some virtualizer suggestions on it and see if i finds something i am happy with. Maybe i will upgrade to a realizer in the future.

The lcd x seem very good for bass and , although maybe not the absolute best in the soundstage/imgaing department. Since I sometimes game for many hours I fear they would be to heavy for that.

I haven’t heard much good about the DCA expanse but will check it out again along with the stealth but I will check them out again.
I'd love to try both of these headphones on my rig and playlist, but both of these companies have anti-customer return/refund policies. They want you to send it back at your own expense, they want to deduct shipping costs and restocking fees. Considering the prices of these items, even a test drive could potentially cost you hundreds $ in losses.
