When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one...


How many have experienced a situation when a more budget oriented speaker has a more preferred overall sound over a higher end speaker, something at 3 or more times the price?  What are your thoughts, experiences and how can you explain this?

I was listening to two different floorstanders, I forgot which models. One retailed under $3000, the other $1000,  both used. The former had detail, frequency extension, etc., but sounded buttoned up, almost inert. The latter didn't have the precision, but it sounded more generous, more engaging. I preferred the latter.
