What is Headroom and how can it be described?

I've been fooling with stereos for years and always hear the word Headroom.

Scientifically speaking - what is it????

When I have a stereo that is reviewed as having a lot of headroom, it seems to just be a strong top end, mild mids and strong bass. SO it has a good solid top and bottom.

Is this what it really is? Or is it some other measurement like distortion?
