What is it that you don't like about your speakers ?


Most people usually sing praise of what they have, be it Quad, Harbeth, Vandersteen, Magico or whatever.
In another thread I already said what I didn't like about my Michael Green Audio free resonance speakers. I could add that better frequency extension wouldn't hurt, they can't fully reproduce Hellborg's custom acoustic bass guitar or Glen Moore's customized bass. Fewer complaints regarding high frequences but still. And they don't exactly disappear, though this doesn't bother me much - instruments when played live don't disappear either. Imaging could be sharper but again not bad. I expect some coloration from anything that is a box. This includes room - it is a box as well.

How can you be 100% sure it's really the speakers producing the sound/effect that you don't like so much?

+1  The system needs to be considered as a whole (an organism if you will). We are (understandable and easier to do so) quick to attribute to whichever component or cable or tweak we are working on...but it's an expression of the entire system.
*G*  I like my various speakers....if I don't, they 'go away'.... ;)

The space they're in...eh, 'workable'...like most....*S*
Sound quality is so good I cant stop dancing about if on you can not do anything but enjoy music, conversation, reading etc all near impossible since the music is just so engaging.
@inna  That's the relevant question, why so many loudspeakers?  I've often kept 2 - 3 systems going.  It's part of the sickness of this hobby, and both wonderful and stupid, at the same time.

I do drive the Quads with my Jadis amplifiers, and the 3 of them provide different results.  But I also use my  Dynacos and Quicksilvers. Have had 3 pairs of AtmaSphere M60s and 1 S30 in the past. Supposedly, a match made in heaven. So at some point, I anticipate giving the Atmas another try.

While I like all of the listed loudspeakers to various degrees, you're right, I like the Quads and Frieds best.  If the day came where I couldn't stockpile gear, and had to choose to live with a single component for each part of a single system, I'd end up with the Jadis DA60 driving the Quads.

Like everything in this world, components have strengths and weaknesses.  I believe someone with an open mind, heart, and ears can evaluate the gear they own in kind.  Interesting how few complaints folks have thrown out there.  Especially, in light of how many components get listed on this site
