Contemporary trend/ability takes accurate into antiseptic territory

Posted by Edp on April 15, 2023 at 15:00:19:
Compound that trend across amp/digital/hi-tech speaker materials result in a ready ability to expose/emphasize flaws in both system and rooms.

I'm not pining for dull or nostalgic sound to be the benchmark either.

It may be my eyes but the big shiny metal boxes and drivers seem to be the ones that no matter the $$$$, are nearly as steely sounding as they look. Damn accurate, damn uncomfortable fairly quickly.
