I think that at least a few loudspeakers are intentionally and cynically engineered to have an Exaggerated so-called "Jump Factor."
The chief designer for Aerial loudspeakers told me that they knew how to juice up transients to make a brief audition make the sale. But they refused to go down that road, because of the risk of listener fatigue.
Irving Fried (supposedly) urged his dealers to make short-term loans of the demo pairs, because he was very negative as to whether you can learn what you need to know in a brief, in-store audition.
I always think it's a bad sign when someone asks for a very impactful track to be played very loud--the one that sticks in my head is Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Tin Pan Alley."
