What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker?


I often hear people say "That speaker has great speed". What do they mean? I know the music isn't playing at a different pitch. Could it possibly be related to efficiency?

Speed as a function...

Small floorstander, Castle Conway III, intel Nuc, Benchmark Dac pre, Mystere PA, you want ‘speed’, transient attack, dynamics with decay, openness?  Try Captains Audio Envy cables.  I’ve a pr. of the Studio Prestige rca, a usb, & a balanced cable.  Remarkable spacious detailed resolution, the fastest cable I’ve heard.  Lightweight, easy to handle, affordable, speed.   

Example... the Castles r bottom ported adjustable thru spacers to various room sizes.  With AE interconnects, ports wide open, they sound like sealed boxes, absolutely no overhang, spacious, neutral, dynamic, textured speed unleashed thru the speakers carbon fiber drivers.

Addictive.

Same thru a pr. of 1SC’s.  AE interconnects r FAST, and one can easily appreciate such thru the additional frequency range moving beyond the monitors.  Fun too.  Refined, cohesive, spacious, they convey a distinct ‘house sound’ that reminds of a good modern tube amp, or a great set of headphones, the small Castles sound like lovely dark electrostatics with better dynamics.  
Speed indeed...
