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

Disappointing speakers for me:

Wilson Sophia (original version)
Aerial Acoustics 7B
Roman Audio Centurion
Meadowlark Shearwater HR
Usher X929
Von Schweikert VR2
Paradigm persona series, that beryllium Tweeter and mid-range are so hard bright and cold it's not even funny.
Fatiguing speakers seem to be best suited for home theater.  That’s where I put my Def Techs.
Starting sixty years ago... the AR3's were pretty good, Bose 901s... were they a joke?  My Time Window 3s were nothing much.  Went trough all the B&W Models up to 800, they were just ok (although heard the well broken in new 802Ds, pretty good) then all Wilsons. the Watt Puppy 7s could peel paint if needed.  My Yvettes with the new tweeters are very good, better than the first Sasha.  Speech?  You mean like Cohen?  Good topic.
