Well, I guess tastes differ. I had an audiophile buddy over for a brief audition of my system on Sunday. I thought the thing was sounding pretty good, but he was clearly less than impressed. Afterwards, he asked me if I had intentionally built a Gundry dip into the system. Hmmm. That was interesting because what I like about my rig with the 2000s is that there is no glare or edge in the upper-mid to lower-treble range (to which I am very sensitive). I don't feel like I am missing any of the music, but maybe if one is less sensitive to that range, or if one is used to a system that spotlights that part of the frequency spectrum, it might sound that way. I do have them toed-in slightly. Interestingly, I do feel that many of the better systems I hear have as their Achiles' heel some glare in that range.
I shrugged my shoulders. It is possible that people who hear differently will never "get" the Ohm Walsh sound. Heck, many speakers that I consider overly-bright and glarey sell well, and for very high prices. I still wouldn't trade my Ohms for those speakers, and some of them cost many multiples of my 2000s. To me, once you hear Ohms, with their finely detailed sound without any of the etch or grain of overly-bright speakers, there's no going back.
