Everyone's entitled to their opinion. This review kind of reminds me of reviews that say a product did/did not get their "toe tapping." Every time I read that crap line I pretty much stop listening and read on for a good laugh.

I seems that the reviewer just doesn't like a neutral speaker, and wants something more colored. Probably like the mid-bass hump in the M3, but also wanted a mid-treble hump and a rolled off upper-high end. I think that's what the reviewer means by "exciting" or whatever.

I think if they would have paid $600 for the speaker, they would be writing something completely different. Some people just don't like it if they didn't pay a lot for it.
