Can anyone define 'Slam' in the context of audio power amps?

The ability to deal with sudden short lived transient sounds - preferably
without affecting the rest of the output of the amp. Normally acheived with
good PSU design and big power reserves and capable of transient output well
beyond the units continuous ratings.





Apart from the fact that good PSU design means that the amp has no power
reserve! ie, that it has a well regulated PSU, so the long term output
power capability is the same as the short term one.
