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?

Years ago I had Mirage M1si speakers driven by a Krell KSA-250 amp and in my very open room it sounded great. After my move to a smaller house (divorce) I sold it all and ended up with a simple NAD receiver and Triangle Titus XS stand mount speakers. Strange as it may seem the NAD/Triangle sound was pretty amazing. A little bright that I tamed with positioning and wall covers but overall it was good. I still have the Triangles stored in my closet as they have been replaced but it was a good transition to a great sounding speaker on a budget.
