What is meant by subwoofer room pressurization?


I've recently been researching some subwoofers and people frequently mention the fact that they pressurize the room, supposedly resulting in better sound, not just better bass. Could somebody please explain this to me? I've searched other threads, but to no avail.

Thanks in advance,

What's the point of subs if they are set so they are not observable sources of sound? I set my subs so they blend seamlessly with my main speakers.
Good answer Bondmanp. I'd add that you get the sense also that the air around you has become vibrant/pulsing/throbbing with energy.
