After all the speakers I auditioned I still can't believe I ended up with these little trapezoid's from the Great White North. I'm referring, of course to the m22's. But, I have something to get off my chest, so to speak. Much has been written, here and elsewhere about the sonic qualities of brand A vs B, C or D. And much has been written about the sonic qualities of metal coned speakers as well as the attributes of highly efficient speakers vs not so efficient speakers. It is my belief acquired through many hours of auditioning speakers that there is an amount of ear fatique involved with efficient speakers. Let's call it the nature of the beast. I don't believe this is caused by brightness or harshness. I feel it is caused by the soundstage itself and the sheer intensity of sound you are experiencing. That's what we were looking for, wasn't it?
