Thank you all again for all your comments. I've learnt a lot these days with your much appreciated feedback, together with my 'wrong' buying. I'm definitely going to return them, so I'm back on the search for a pair of floorstanders that sound fair and authoritative in my living room with my...

Thank you very much for all your comments. As you have said, I think I made a mistake by buying based on other people reviews, and I'm trying to tell myself that it's me, not the speakers. I can still return them (in NL you have 14 days) and I'm afraid that's the right decision here. I could...
