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

Wilson Watt/Puppys.
Not musical at all but more of a science experiment to see how much detail one can generate.
Tried the Watt 3, 5, etc. Way too analytical like nails on a chalkboard.
Various high end solid state and tube amps and cables. Even the lushest CJ gear sounded hard.
But my wife loved the looks. And they were an easy sell due to the glowing magazine reviews.

PS the Avalon Acurus and Eggleston Andra were similar to Watt just not quite so much of it. Tried many amps large and small, tube and ss and always result was hard and detailed sound, never felt like listening to the music. They delighted the new owner.
