Not exactly sure what you guys mean by shouty because I never had any bad sound from my Hyperion 938s. Before I bought these, I listened to the Dali MS5 (I think they go for over $10k) on 3 different auditions with ultra highend electronics in a well set up room at a well regarded dealer in LA, but I preferred the sound of the 938s (based on my audition at a hotel room at a highend show).
