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

I didn't suggest that you made up the claim. I simply found it odd, given both my experience, and the relative lack of similar opinions from other owners whose feedback I have read.
How is it odd that some people dont like the sound of a speaker? It happens with every speaker. 
And given that Johnson had a proclivity to have inconvenient posts deleted at his request, is it any surprise that we didnt see many negative feedback on his speakers?
@glupson" Virtually all Bowers & Wilkins (except one older model)."

I had the very same experience, somewhere in the late 80s I listened to B&W model?, I think 800, anyway the biggest they made with all McIntosh tube gear and they sounded great.   Now I can't listen to them at all.  Their room at RMAF 2019 was atrocious. Oh well.

But that's not the worst.......

Plasmatronics, with the ozone tweeter.  A point source radiating 360.
No upper limit on the tweeter because it in effect has zero mass.  OMG talking about ear splitting...window shattering.  And the salesman was gushing over the accuracy!

I totally agree with you, it is human nature. And I’m certainly not disputing the validity of your post/reference.

We live comfortably as long as our human nature sensibilities agree. Unfortunately, when our human natures differ, in extreme cases we slaughter one another. (And everything in between.)

Fortunately, most of us can sort ourselves out to some degree and keep our darkest nature at bay. Even small things like respecting each other on an audio discussion board is a step closer. 

My point is it’s not cool to develop a habit of abusing others. It hurts feelings and is unsettling, especially to tender hearted people. I think those who do it online, do it offline, they just have to choose victims more carefully.

It's not odd at all, but you have predictably produced yet another dishonest straw man. I responded to a specific objection to the speaker, not a broad one. 

Why don't you do readers a favor now, and stop polluting this thread with your biased, and frequently dishonest posts.
