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

Focal Sopra 2.

There is an amazing shortage of speakers in my state to audition, so I spend hours reading online. I was pretty convinced these speakers at $19K would be fantastic.

Auditioned with moon separates but was disappointed in the total lack of any bass. One of my favorite tracks is Gordon Lightfoot’s If You Could Read My Mind - there was so much music missing, totally disappointing.

@bgm1911I had a listen to some high end focal speakers. They had no bass. I think all focals are like that. 

Focal Sopra 2.

It is not the speakers that lack bass it is probably the room acoustic..... With my 7 inches driver i listen cello with my stomach.... Thanks to my room controls.... If not i would have been here complaining about my Mission Cyrus lack of bass...... Is it possible that a company that sell 19,000 bucks speakers sell them completely lacking the Tuba bass note which is in the bass driver specification description anyway?

I dont doubt your impression and review, but speakers always need controlled acoustic of the room, some speakers especially so.....

In general french speakers, Cabasse, Triangle, Focal, Jean-Marie Reynaud are too bright to my ears, it's a pity because they have a lot of other good qualities...

-Zu dirty weekends mk ii are really good in my setup except one aspect. Made them better with clarity cap upgrade (smoother upper end) and with snubbers taking them from a 12 ohm load to about 8 ohms BUT they just lack low bass.  They play low bass, and very tuneful, but doesn't move air.
-Vandersteen Model 3's-  Don't sound bad, but don't have the detail or imaging of the zu's, but have the low end covered beautifully.  Still have both not sure which I like/where to go next.  If I could find a speaker that has the zu voicing with vandersteen bass, game over. 
-Tried a pair of Rel T/9 and could not get them to blend with Zu's.  Good product but the zu's low excurtion rate is tough to "match" with high excursion Rels.  Timing issues I believe. 
Not satisfied as of now with either but this hobby has no endgame I'm learning!
