What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker?


I often hear people say "That speaker has great speed". What do they mean? I know the music isn't playing at a different pitch. Could it possibly be related to efficiency?

I think it falls into what the Brits refer to as PRaT - Paced Rhythm and Timing. Of course Prat is also British slang for:
  1. an incompetent, stupid, or foolish person; an idiot.
  2. 2. a person’s buttocks.

I supposed this is another dumb joke.  Maybe you're number 1?
Interesting discussion. +1 on many posts. Nods to @simonmoon and similar posts and to @mikelavigne ’s points.

Adding an aspect that hasn’t been brought up...reduction in system noise.
I personally believe that the speed of bass tends to be slower than the highs because it can take longer for the waves to start energising the air due to their longer wavelengths. YMMV
