Sometimes it strikes me how many speakers are somewhat bright sounding
Triangle borea 3 (don't like how ithe highs sound on the borea 2's) https://www.i-fidelity.net/testberichte/hifi/triangle-borea-br03/seite-5.html
Dali oberon (as the concept and zensor has been)
B&W 607 s2 ae (bright loud,fatigue) https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...kins-607-s2-anniversary-edition-review.21597/
Klipsch can be bright sounding
wharfedale evo 4.1 (mostly upper midrange lower tweeter) https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/wharfedale-evo-4-1-review-speaker.28305/
Own a pair of Dynaudio emit m10's they are not super bright but the latest edtions are much darker and warmt sounding to my ears, so there must be something about the highs on the first versions they felt they needed to change.
Second speakers are also first editions, Mission lx-1 and they also need a little bright, tuning do to my amp and placement they are lowered a little more in the bass than the highs, the highs are lowered by mabye 2 db or 25% the bass is lowered mabye 1 db more or 35-40% total
Now the highs are more neutral but stil not to an extent where they are dark sounding, the bass has no bump but stil offers a good agile bass that never overpowers
Why are many speakers bright and often fatiguing to listen to ?
Yes many like a v curved sound signature or having problems hearing the highs as they get older but should those who make speakers compensate for that or are speaker manufacturers also people who needs (or want) to have bright sounding speakers ?
Second thing is sensitivity, it has also for a long time wondered why many speakers (especially klipsch) don't have the rated sensitivity = you also need to consider how much power your amp has, not just how they sound.
Klipsch RP-600M rated at 96 db but has a sensitivity just shy of 90 db https://www.stereophile.com/content/klipsch-reference-premiere-rp-600m-loudspeaker-measurements
Dali spektor 1 and and Micca RB-42 are very low, so much many say to get most out of them (dynamics and power,spl) you need atleast 100 watt pr channel (and that is for low budget speakers)
Which book shelf speakers does do it right (without costing a furtune) don't sound bright when playing loud, high sensitivity, good bass (quality not quantity) and generally sounds good
Not all of us have space and money for big klipsch,zu adio,tektoon audio or som other brands that happens to offer a little more power (sensitivity) without sounding bright,forward when playing loud
