In a way, size matters, too. The return of 70’s era wide baffle KLH, JBL, Wharfedale and Mission mid-fi speakers to popularity has as much to with the way they are engineered around the baffle step as it does with their nostalgic warmth and appearance IMO. My Wharefdale Lintons are not fatiguing and very musical for affordable money. As others have shared, it took a while to use a combination of positioning, hardware and settings to deliver a nice invisible soundstage, but they got there. I think a big part of “invisible” is in the midrange, if voices and the tones of acoustic instruments are clear and natural, the source sounds less obvious to my decidedly non-golden ears.
The Lintons dip down to just under 4 ohms and are rated at 6 ohms, so they like current but they are very natural up to a point just short of rattling our 1924 bungalow’s vintage window sashes LOL.
