I share the sentiment. Didn't make much of them with any amp/source pairing I've heard them with. Cheaper Wharfedale Diamond 9.1s were much better in my opinion.

Did you listen to them before you bought them? If not, sorry, entirely your fault. And particularly don't come on here a year later accusing What HiFi of taking bungs just because you're an idiot. You thoroughly got what you deserved. What HiFi aren't there to guarantee a particular product is going to be perfect for you, they're there to help you build a shortlist. How the hell is anyone at What HiFi going to know (a ) your taste in music (b) your sound preferences (c) how your room sounds (d) how well they will interface sonically with your other components.

Consider it a learning exercise to teach you something you should have already known.

Oh right so it's perfectly OK to accuse What HiFi of taking financial bungs from Richers because you don't like speakers you never even listened to? Get a grip.

Good spot Major. I've missed it, must be cooler by the sea. I'm sweating here :)

Should probably clarify my earlier statement was in regards to sound quality alone. Nothing to do with RS and/or WHF.

Yep it's his accusation that prompted my tort reply tbh, either way don't go whining about the sound of hifi products you didn't audition. He's had them a year ffs! At which point did he decide he didn't like them? If it was within 14 days or so I'm sure Richers would have helped him with an exchange. Don't come on here a year later and accuse WHF of taking bungs from RS to overrate lacklustre products.

if you only give them 3 stars why did you keep them for so long?

Exactly.

I tried them 2 times with different amps, i returned them after 1 day and the second time 1 or 2 days.

I still couldn't live with them long enough to hear if burn in would make a diffrence, to dark sound, not enough bass,very thin and a strange sounding midrange.
