It seems like there are speakers that are so accurate that no recordings or associate equipment can be measured up to this "accuracy". The cliche or excuse is to blame other equipment but the reality is the speakers will ultimately affect the total sound quality the most. If speakers are bright, then more than likely, the sound will be bright unless you put a low pass filter somewhere in your audio chain.
Ultimately, I want something that helps me out at the end of a hard work day, and not something that makes me brace myself everytime a female vocal hits a high note.
