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

BIC AMERICA DV-84 pair. 
  The treble was searing on some recordings, 
but the open airy sound and crystal clarity was simply awesome.  They use the Vifa tweeter, which is very good. The crossover must have been mismatched, 
there was no midrange to take the lower freq’s.  2 passive 8” radiators & 2 active 8” drivers. 
Bought the DV-64’s, they sound great.
BIC is still relavent. They need to bring back the classic speakers, they would sell much more. I would be in for 2-3 pairs if they made them....the old Formula line and the realta  pair. The realta speakers were amazing!


 Gave to my cousin, he loves them.

  

All JBL, B&W and Klipsch .

All you Agon members pointing fingers at Klipsch need to get your lockdowned self out of the house and go hear what they are currently offering. These aren't your father's (grandfather?) klipsch of yore.

Epicure models 1 thru 5 had the eyeball tweeter. I thought they were ahead of their time with narrow front baffle wider in the back with rounded corners and bottom ported bass. I had the 5 I sold for ADS l9e, traded 1 pair of ear bleeders for another. Recently a friend gave me a pair of epicure model 3 I’m thinking of putting quality drivers in. 

it is funny to see people get defensive when their brand of speaker is called out to not sound good to other folks

synergy and equipment matching is THE critical skill in this pursuit... some speakers innately play brighter and harsher than others... so then if one like what the speakers do otherwise, one finsd the right gear to minimize the deficiencies and accentuate the strengths... like most other pursuits it takes perseverance, knowledge, effort and $ to get it right
