…'fast' bass?
Tight or accurate I understand but fast makes no sense at all as the speed of sound is the same regardless of frequency.
Consequently bass cannot be 'fast' or 'slow' as the speed never changes, at least not within the same room/altitude.
Follow Ups:
slow bass. :o)If you look at transient response of sealed, ported, isobaric and bandpass boxes you see increasingly worse transient response / group
delay.Maybe that's why sealed box guys think of their bass as articulate and "fast". Fastest settling time for a given driver?
It's not a new term in audiophile speak and no worse than PRAT!! ;)

No term is worse than PRaT, that is complete BS.
Well, I don't get personally bent out shape about the term PRAT because I know exactly what they are talking about.
Sure, if you play a track on ten CDPs they will all take the same amount of time to play... philes are not suggesting otherwise.
But I've heard the difference between laid back systems that seem to slow down the music and more dynamic and articulate ones that seem to make the music... come to life. It's engaging and makes you tap your toes and want to listen to more and more music.
If that's PRAT, then I get it.
I prefer to use terms like articulate, engaging and dynamic.
Cheers,
Presto
