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

@glupson" Virtually all Bowers & Wilkins (except one older model)."

I had the very same experience, somewhere in the late 80s I listened to B&W model?, I think 800, anyway the biggest they made with all McIntosh tube gear and they sounded great.   Now I can't listen to them at all.  Their room at RMAF 2019 was atrocious. Oh well.

But that's not the worst.......

Plasmatronics, with the ozone tweeter.  A point source radiating 360.
No upper limit on the tweeter because it in effect has zero mass.  OMG talking about ear splitting...window shattering.  And the salesman was gushing over the accuracy!
