Sorry, I know it is a relatively new concept for many but
Bob it's been around for a long, long, long time.  Ever hear
a big bass drum sound like it was hit with a rolled up sock
instead of knocking you out of your chair?  Speed, Bob, Speed!
Impact!!!

It is these "detail" thingies that separate the mass market
junk
from true high end reproduction.  The reason why speakers
from yesteryear went the way of the VW beetle.  Progress
has been made even in the mass market mid-fi world.  The
overall trend has been away from a "rich" sound to more of
a real sound.
