Ever discover cheapo speakers actually sound...

They probably sound good because of all the care you put into every other aspect of your system, the problem is these sort of speakers usually dont have the gear or the care in all areas of performance....nor a desire for many to take a hard look at the money they have spent by bothering to find out.....oh yeah and most speakers in that range are obviously poor performers by comparison.

I am totally amazed at the Vintage KLH 6 ( on Skylan stands ) ..I purchased for $1 and refinished the cabs..etc...They sound way beyond what they should.....

I haven't. There's always something out of balance and higher levels of distotion. But you've learned how cheapo equipment can fool our ears into thinking, short term, or on some types of music at low levels, that it sounds pretty good. Many makers depend on this phenomenon, usually by incorporating a mid-bass boost and a mid-treble peak. Listen more carefully, put on some of your more challenging music, and you'll realize that the cheapo system can't live up to it.
