If that phrase confuses you, then you've obviously never tried to integrate a subwoofer with stand-mount loudspeakers!

I have done that, yes. But explain, please do. |
Well, then you'll know that, unless you get the subwoofer positioning, frequency and phase adjustment spot on, there's every chance that the bass line will be playing along out of time with the rest of the track, thus ruining the timing. Some subwoofers are much worse than others when it comes to this (I'm thinking B&O Beolab 2 and anything made by REL here!) but the same effect can even be found in poorly designed multi-driver loudspeakers.
Oh, and before you all start setting light to your pitchforks and marching up my driveway, this is nothing to do with audiophilia. It's simple acoustics.
