In Reply to: Silly Question: What does "tight" Bass mean to you? posted by "Red" on October 13, 2011 at 09:41:09:
That is how I view it. The punchiness of the bass + clarity/articulateness has to do with minimal resonances and suckouts being excited so that the low frequencies can sound from the speakers and not from the room "humming along" with them.
So look at the bass as somethign that is loaded, not so much by the speaker, as by the room. get your speakers set up right and the bass gets very clear and articulate. Don't set them up right, and that is the source of 98% of why people are dissatisfied with the low end of their systems
