What's wrong with my almost new speakers?


I purchased a pair of new speakers less than 2 yrs ago. They sounded just fine to begin with, but within 1 year they became "irratating" after a short listen. I have purchased new speakers since then from Focal and Harbeth, and both of these pairs sound wonderful. What's wrong with the speakers from 2 yrs ago? Bad crossovers? Bad drivers?
We do not listen to music at loud levels.

It pays NOT to specify the name of the component you're having trouble with.

I asked for help/advice about a Sony 5400ES player that was truncating the first half-second of music at startup.
When I went to sell, someone made a firm offer then reneged when he found my post.
"Oh! You've had a problem with this player!"
The "problem" was explained in the owner's manual.
It happens when you use the HDMI connection to send music to a DAC or HT receiver (something in the HDMI "handshaking" protocol).

So, due to the BOZO factor, I don't include the component name anymore.
