I'd love to know who you think reckons all speakers sound the same?
I've never seen this in print anywhere - the writer would be laughed out
of court.

I'd caution against just relying on your ears without a reference. The
room used for listening in has a far greater influence on the final sound
than any competent amp or CD etc. So what may sound fine in a shop at a
quick audition may well disappoint at home.

Also, IMHO, apart from maximum SPL, a competent speaker should be equally
at home with any type of music - and speech. If a speaker sounds
'impressive' on one type of music more than another, it's a poor design.
