Could be the way they set up the demo for these speakers. I had exactly the same reaction when I heard them in Sydney, using a DAC that in another room was doing a fine job ...Sounded flat and uninteresting but could be the content.
Asking you about the Voxativ... Audiophile curiosity, I am not much interested in this speakers TBH.Are you asking me or Ray?
This is something I have often observed in the SET-driving-Single driver crowd. Flat (not in the sense of linear), midrange-oriented to the extent of not reproducing much else ... Editorialized reproduction.I only listened to that one LP which as I mentioned, sounded flat so after talking to them a bit, I moved on.
