I think you have a point that too many "high end" (as well as mass market) manufacturers voice their speakers for "WOW factor" on first impression. I haven't heard Wilsons, but when one reviewer described their "bigger-than-life, Technicolor presentation," I knew just what he meant.
A high-Q bass tuning for a "bigger" low end, and elevated treble to bring forward artificial "detail," may initially sound more "exciting," but can become fatiguing with extended listening and lead to buyer remorse. A well-balanced, more neutral speaker may not impress as much initially, but will be more enjoyable to live with in the long run.
