The data is from IR-761
http://irc.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/fulltext/ir761/
These are all the comparisons I could figure where the only change is the RC. "Page" refers to the PDF page number. The last column is the arithmetic average of the TL change from 40 to 80 Hz. Numbers in brackets are negative. I chose the 80 Hz as the upper limit as that is the lower limit of guitar and human bass voice.
Of the eight comparisons, only one has better LF TL.
