Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: What exactly is...

I think tuneful bass is when the low frequency driver is fast and accurate and is blended well with the midrange driver. The effect is that the bass is fast, tight, articulate and seemless - and sounds like an instrument playing.

Once you hear it you certainly know when it's not there.

The bass guitar can come out of a soundstage just like any other instrument, and the bottom end should be neither lean nor boomy.

A good way to destroy tuneful bass is to have a room with a big suckout or "one note bass" phenomenon, or a room with bad resonances in wall panels or hvac ducts.

Just my two cents.
