You should be able to follow the bass melody played, for instance, on the pedal board of an organ. The notes should not sound muddy, or have a lot of overhang and ringing.
Contrast with a typical cheap subwoofer, which just goes "thump" with little or no pitch definition. That's fine for the HT knuckledraggers that just want to hear explosions go "boom," but really detracts from the appreciation of music with melodic bass content.
