"Speakers" always up for sale--Poor Performers??


Whether it is on the 'GON, in newspapers or magazine classified, certain speaker "brands" seem always up for sale! I wonder if this is because when buyers take them home, they are grossly disappointed at their performance?? I realize some guys just need the money or WAF comes to bear on them. Any opinions on this often overlooked aspect of audiophilia??

There truly are some poorly engineered products out there, and they get a good review because some manufacturer packed someones nose, or bought mucho ad space!
Dipoles for one just sometimes dont work in some rooms, no matter what.
Another mistake is buying too big a speaker for ones room.
Think about it, a person buying a huge speaker, probably has a huge room, and the speaker is voiced as such.
Nothing quite like BRIGHTNESS to make you want to bail out on a speaker!
I llike the response on Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, that really hits the nail on the head!
