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!

It's truly wonderful that you've found happiness with your current system, it really is.

Of course, if we're being objective, and we acknowledge the tens of thousands of living, breathing homo-sapiens currently (possibly even at this very moment) enjoying speakers from Wilson, B&W and Dynaudio, then we must consider the possibility that in your case, the problem wasn't the speakers...

Now, whether the fellas over at Dynaudio are testing new designs on androids that look like C3PO or R2D2, I'm skeptical but open-minded...

Yeah of course....I was those guys...I had those speakers and my systems were top notch mega buck affairs!  I suppose it's just a combination of fortunate pairings and my room that in this particular instance have allowed me to be exceptionally smitten.

Of course having the NORDOST ODIN array cabling

Dave prefers his current speakers over the Wilsons he once owned.  I can understand that.  Does he need to offer an apology?  The Krells provided him superior listening satisfaction. Why is that difficult for some to accept? 
Charles,
