My personal definition of "fatigue" is that it sets in over a period of time. I have never experienced this fatigue in the context of listening to music probably because I will quickly get rid of any offending equipment or source material.Older Bryston amps in decades past would be fatiguing if given the chance. The immediate ear bleed they inflict will hit you way before fatigue sets in prompting you to shut it down fast. Decades ago I auditioned Bryston and Classe and chose the latter.
On the other hand, some overly smooth and polite gear will snooze me to sleep with boredom. Striking a balance for ones preference is the trick.
