Either the room or your ears. Based upon your description of too much bass, probably the room more than anything else. There is such a wide range of speaker sound and quality in your list that to lump them all together as all sounding bad and all sounding bad in the same way is absolutely ludicrous. There are couple of speakers in that list that have high end response so crisp that some people think they are too bright; conversely there are a couple of models in there that no one would accuse of having too much bass, and often wind up augmenting with subwoofers.Yareek said:On that note, I didn't like any of the monitors I listened to, which included the Mackie 824's, KRK V6's, V8's, Rokit RP5's, RP6's, RP8's, Event TR20's, M-Audio BX5's, and EMU PM5's. Almost all of these speakers had too little high end detail for my tastes, most of them seemed to have a lot of bass or mid bass (probably just the room).
The bad news, you've been completly duped and disserviced by a bad room. The good news, you now understand first-hand just how important room placement and room treatment actually is.
