Most recent speaker you audited in room and returned? Why did you return it?


Just as the title says, what was the last speaker you got hyped by, purchased and returned subsequently? If you returned it, what did you not like about it in your room? What equipment did you try matching it with?

Hearing about such experiences of unmet expectations could be an interesting topic.

Spendor D9.2,

I listened to them in a fully treated smallish room at the dealer. they sounded better to me then the others i listened to. Then i got them home in my larger room and less room treatment. They sounded bright, lacked midrange depth and tone, they had almost zero low bass. the speakers are spec'ed at 27hz to 20khz and I'd think they barely made 50hz in the bass. I'll give them the detail level top to botom was outstanding but that's about it. Sold now thankfully. Even the distributor later told me they are not for everyone as they focus on detail and lose out on the musicality and tone of real music.  I do not recommend the Spendor D line at all if you like music.
