that pretty much describes most sound reinforced venues. Hard and edgy sound that grates on ones hearing even if not played at ear bleeding levels.Even comparatively tame musical events at the large university auditorium fit that bill. I can take only so much before needing to leave.
Fortunately even modestly priced gear today doesn't do that to me like it did in the 70s. Think Crown amplification. I remain amazed at the value my $200 Fosi integrated/DAC provides. With smooth sounding results using commodity TPA3255 and 5532 chips. Sins of omission are easier to forgive. :)

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.

That's a useful point of view. Thanks. It helps explain the term.
