"Fast" or "slow" woofers. Perception of bass "speed" does not generally connect to any physical property of the woofer or subwoofer, it typically connects to a property of the acoustic environment, mainly its low freq reverberation. To hear your woofer's "speed" change, just move it to the backyard or other open space and replay the same passage: Presto (so to speak), your previously lethargic woofer is now lightning fast.

For most of you this is all basic, Sound 101 stuff. Amazing that some in the industry, even those writing reviews, seem so, well, slow to get it.

That's going in my book right next to life coaches and people who pay others to walk their dog.

I get tired of 'bright' or 'too bright' -- I see this in reviews and hear it from audiophiles all the time. Many live instruments sound 'bright' at their upper reaches, some even kinda aggressive. I'm convinced a lot of audiophiles like stuff rolled off and that some manufacturers have voiced their equipment to meet them there.

Rob, I also think some of what's described as "too bright" is the result of untreated first reflection points. Amazing what a modest amount of appropriate absorbtion will do to clarify HF.
