Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way?

Incredible what human hearing perception is, some of the speakers in this thread are loved by so many and hated by others. This basically proves the other factors at play, source, room, amplification and such could potentially be more important than the actual speaker. For my next speaker I’m going to buy a house and build a listening room then I will care about the other factors, maybe next life.

OP interesting thread but don’t know about its relevance.

Here is my take.

I demoed Golden Ear Tritons at a dealer, listening to Tommy, very disappointing, sterile.

The Paradigms Persona some of you don’t like (which I do respect) I listened to RMAF 2018 and IMO these were easily top 6 at that show, I know shows are not a good place to actually expect much for a speaker.
The Klipsch Palladiums I still own them on secondary system and I love their sound.
I’m not fond of the ML sound, never like them although the looks are incredible.

Harbeth listened to them where was it? RMAF 18 I think, Vinnie Rossi was there with his LIO
I expected more from the Harbeth, left unimpressed

Axpona 19 Vinnie had his Stilettos, I think the sound was better than with Harbeths the previous year.

The best sounding speaker (to me) at RMAF 18 I purchased, AudioKinesis Azels, loved the sound and still do.

Of course it is all subjective, I don’t have golden ears, I’m in some digital forums and I follow and do changes on my system like Ethernet cables and such and can’t hear a difference, many others ramble about how different their systems sound.

Everything is subjective

My 2c

Edit: Before I forget +1 Hilde45, the Moabs so disappointing😉Joking aside I heard the Impacts at RMAF 18 and I did liked the sound, they were orange I think or red, not my fav looks and my wife hated the looks and pulled me away immediately, I know, who in his right mind goes with the wife to an audio show?

Also anything that paradigm persona line that beryllium midrange and Tweeter are very bright.

and white van speaker......

Greg7, Good idea for a post.
Too bad it got reduced to a battle of egos, or perhaps a battle of ego by he who shall remain un-named.

No evidence? Roy had emails and correspondences with you, AMEX and Paypal. There is ZERO chance that he was making those claims up, and, in fact, you did not dispute them.

I do dispute it. Do you have the emails from AMEX? lets see them? show them to me. Even if i was refunded it would only prove that my complaint against GMA was upheld by paypal. So you are WRONG again. 

Nobody cares about that and this thread is a discussion about the sound quality of speakers so you are off topic anyway. There is no more green mountain audio and there is no more Roy Johnson. Face the facts and stick to the topic. 

Anyone reading that thread, and Roy's compelling recapitulation of your disgraceful behavior, would believe his account.

And thats the problem. They shouldnt believe it unless there is evidence for it. Do you have evidence? No you dont, So should we listen to you? No we should not. 

He also had your subsequent, unfounded attacks on the forum deleted, which further underscores your pathetic bias.

Nonsense. It simply proves that the forum is biased in his favor and does not tolerate criticism. It should be shocking to any reasonable person that somebody could have posts on here deleted at his request just because he didnt like them. 

You are either angry with me because I have criticized the sound quality of GMA and you regret buying them or you genuinely cant hear how bad they sound and you are genuinely trying to defend against my remarks. It truly is hilarious one way or the other.
