Why are most speakers designed for robots?

I recently decided to get a used pair of speakers as part of a trade deal and to my amazement, they have performed far better than any of my previous Wilson's, B&W's or Dynaudio speakers.  They are Krell Resolution 2 speakers (my system IS all Krell).  They are just far more realistic tonally, crazy dynamic and have a full sounding warm mid-band.  Bass is crushing with oodles of texture and pitch definition.  Obviously designed for humans who listen to music NOT played back in an anechonic chamber.  It is shocking to me how bad so many high end speakers sound to my ear...all precision and no life, like a robot!

As you described this.....

IMO It's not that all the other speaker brands are anything less than fine in their own right, it's just that that were non-optimal in your rig.

Your new-found ones have that the ethereal synergy with the rest of your system that was apparently missing before .

Certainly some merit to Synergy being a factor, but I have owned many speakers with a lot of various gear.  The Wilson WP 6's and Totem speakers offer the kind of exceptional experience I referred to in my post.  It's just that the Res 2's just seem to have that special balance of musicality and high definition that makes everything sound alive and vibrant!
