Having enjoyed Klipsch Heresy IIIs for a while I had to try the IVs. The mids in the IVs (after plenty of break-in) had a peaky upper mid issue so off they went. Tried a pair of Sonist speakers that just paled when compared to the superb Silverline Preludes I had then so sold those away, and a pair of Zu "dirty weekend" speakers were just not close to my Heresy IIIs in coherency and tonal accuracy so back they went. The IIIs have earned their place and are staying...for now...Volti Razz...hmm
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.
