To be fair, my system has been built with my ears and priorities. Since the veracity of my statement is in question, I'll posit a few specifics:
The tweeters sounded like the drum kit was 10 feet over my head. The midrange obviously emanated from a lower point and bass was on the floor. The bass was muddy and the speakers had a difficult time tracking the cacophony of Patricia Barber's "Norwegian Wood" from the Live in France album.
I thought tone was weak and the speakers did not "speak" with one voice, rather a collection of sounds with different personalities coming from different points in space.
My speakers have none of these issues. For convenience purposes, I used the colloquial "smoked".
