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


OK, controversial subject but it needs asked. I'm curious for your experiences, mainly in your home, not a dealer and esp. not a show demo

From the scurrilous stories we read about the business behaviour of Roy Johnson and Kenjit it would appear dealings with both were/are stringently to be avoided.
The GR Research 2 way with the ribbon tweeter. Forget the name. Was so poorly integrated you can immediately tell which driver is which and obvious you close your eyes and can just about draw in the air where the boxes are.
I ASK AGAIN: PLEASE NO MORE ARGUING OVER A SPEAKER BRAND THAT DOESN’T EVEN EXIST ANYMORE! FFS!
@greg7

With the exception of my very first post, I haven’t really been arguing over a speaker brand, but rather pointing out the bias and dishonesty displayed by a very active member of this community. You may not care to read about that, either, but they are two very different things, and the exposure may have value in helping some members to view kenjit’s comments on other topics with a circumspect eye.
I think most of the Focals could easily end up high in this ranking. I used to have the Mezzo Utopia and although paired with Naim it was quite fatiguing.
Meanwhile, back at the topic. .   

In my home, Vandersteen 1Cs, even though I tried many upstream upgrades.

Elsewhere, anything from KEF, most of the Paradigms I have heard, and all the PSB models I gave heard.
