I bought a pair of Klipsch Heresy IV’s a year ago ear unheard (sight unseen… ear… never mind) and I swore up and down I’d return the *&@&)$^*’d things inside 48 hours of arrival but decided to wait.
I ran FM radio classic rock for a couple days straight and WOW! Combination of “owner bias”, “breaking in” and placement did the trick.
I’d been listening to a pair of Ohm 4’s for 3 years previous to this; the Klipsch placement isn’t - yet - ideal, but they’re keepers.
HOWEVER, I’m very interested in buying a pair of Schmidt Audio’s “Ubiquitous” speakers; they’re up in Ontario, Canada and I plan on driving up in early March to “audition” them. There’s a total solar eclipse March 8 and I’ll be visiting an old army buddy too so we’ll take a road trip.

My alter ego, “Hudson Shepherd” named their new subwoofer, “SUBiquitous” (it was so obvious they’d missed it) on fakebook. Hudson liked woofers.
I miss the Ohms, but can’t afford “German Physik” speakers - not until I win the lottery anyway.
So, to answer your question, yes and no.
