Dealers and exaggerated treble

I've been thinking about some negative experiences I've had at dealers over the past few years. I don't mean the dealer's were unpleasant, they were not. I mean that I heard bad sound.


In a lot of those cases, the treble was exaggerated, or harsh to me.


I'm wondering, have you ever heard really bad treble at a dealer, but then you hear the speakers elsewhere and they seem fine?

I've been in a Bang & Olufsen dealer once and he showed me, for some minutes, their BeoLab 90 active speakers, ones that cost about 80.000 euros, and the sounded very bad, what a dissapointment.
The whole system costed more than 100k euros and my much much modest system was much better.
I guess some dealers dont know about how high end speakers should sound, I really dont know the answer because you can not sell multi thousand dollars system and not know how to install and voiced them to the room. Its incredible.
