"Sterile" is a great way to say it...ultra-clean...like
1980s "pop music" bass...like Duran Duran or The Power
Station...
I think what's missing with the SWR amps I've tried is a
full-bodied "warmth"...sort of like a little "rumble" and
"thump" is missing...maybe it's missing that elusive entity
called "transient response"...you know volume dynamics
caused by player attack...
man, bass is so subjective...it's very difficult to write
about...
