‘“non-tight bass” audio performance subwoofers are responsible for many people disliking them in 2-channel audio, car audio, and home theatre if it calls attention to the system and is the cause of the dissatisfaction problems.
In two-channel audio systems, poor choice subwoofers have fully earned a bad reputation. They usually suck when it’s boomy, muddy, and out of control with an obnoxious bass overhang that lingers so long as to blur most of the musical information up until the next bass note is struck.
We all know outright irritating subwoofer experiences, whether it’s from

b) a home theatre system with such overblown (ergo, anything-but “tight” ); bass that causes you to start feeling nauseous part way through the movie
