Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way?


OK, controversial subject but it needs asked. I'm curious for your experiences, mainly in your home, not a dealer and esp. not a show demo

BIC AMERICA DV-84 pair. 
  The treble was searing on some recordings, 
but the open airy sound and crystal clarity was simply awesome.  They use the Vifa tweeter, which is very good. The crossover must have been mismatched, 
there was no midrange to take the lower freq’s.  2 passive 8” radiators & 2 active 8” drivers. 
Bought the DV-64’s, they sound great.
BIC is still relavent. They need to bring back the classic speakers, they would sell much more. I would be in for 2-3 pairs if they made them....the old Formula line and the realta  pair. The realta speakers were amazing!


 Gave to my cousin, he loves them.

  
My worst experience with Klipschorns was hooked up to the Adcom monoblocs.

 Just a bad combo, it made me grit teeth, and my ears hurt, not from being loud, but from super harsh treble.

   Asked for an amp,change, told me come back next weekend, and the weekend after that.

 Next amp was a Steve McCormack, unsure of model, sounded amazing. Treble was no where near as brutal as the adcom.

following weekend was the Carver silver seven monos,Not the ones with the 40 tubes, but the ones with only the meter, and shaped strange.

 They were also great!
