What is Tight Bass?


I’m confused. Speaker size with a large woofer…can it be tight?

is it about efficiency? Amp power? Electrostatic?

@ ohlala Bingo!

Bass traps for reducing bass anomalies and ringing due to large parallel surfaces (ceiling/floor is usually the first offender (and often shortest distance)) in most domestic settings has the largest effect in “tighter bass” IME.

Boundary interference is enemy No 1 for tight bass.

As for bass being “too tight” …well I’ve never heard that.
