Somewhat anachronistic term for well damped, not ringy or boomy etc. Fairly intuitive. Nothing more than that. The bass player for Blood, Sweat & Tears described the Altec 421a as ’tight’ in an ad on the back cover of Guitar Player in 1969, e.g. I recall AR loudspeakers being described that way occasionally, as far as hi-fi goes.
What is Tight Bass?
I’m confused. Speaker size with a large woofer…can it be tight?
is it about efficiency? Amp power? Electrostatic?
