"Bass Linearity"

The ability to handle and deliver the biggest signal excursions in a linear manner, which in turn enables the low-level information and aural "cues" to create the illusion of a "3-D" image. If the LF signal gets compressed in any way, the distortion components affect the rest of the audio band, and those low-level cues are obscured and/or lost.

I think low-frequency linearity is key to bringing forth the potential of the recorded performance in a lot of ways. And I think it's the one "objective" element that is most-relevant to what we perceive subjectively.
