Maybe it just sounded OK to that person.
One thing that has always amazed me is that some shops have crap
sound from crap systems, while others seem to use stuff I'd never
heard of and remarkably get decent sound. I don't know ho Beng
speakers are, but considering they were only 790 quid a pair they
sounded pretty good, especially compared to the average crap bundled
with these stereo systems sold in the multiples these days. I have
never seen them since though so maybe they were bankrupt stock from a
decent company I'd never heard of...
I have some Goodmans speakers here from one of their stereo systems
which sounds good on good speakers, but rubbish on the ones they
bundle indeed the speakers sound rubbish on anything!
I wonder how a company can actually make such bad honking flat dodgy
speakers.

I had a 'Goodmans' mini-system that had horrible bookshelf speakers with it.
I got rid of them smartish. However I'll not get rid of my Goodmans Mezzo
SLs unless I absolutely have to.

What does "upper mids being airy" mean? Was the "meaty" bass
