What is Tight Bass?

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

is it about efficiency? Amp power? Electrostatic?

Meaning impactful, and realistic to the kick drum in particular. GOOD bass however is broader than rock'n'roll. This is bass that is: Balanced with the midrange and treble Uncompressed Low distortion Lacking in noticeable room modes
