RE: "personality"

Not really. I think some speakers that strive conspicuously for neutrality end up having a signature we can also identify. What I hear from these speakers is the sound of cowardice: a lack of identifiable defects rather than virtues. And that is definitely not what we hear in the concert hall or jazz club. Don't get me naming names here because I'm really not permitted to express that kind of opinion here. And they know who they are. Let's just say that the sound of "neutrality" in audio is a sound. When someone says a speaker sounds boring, that's what they're hearing.

This subject deserves a lot more than I can give it, especially on the technical side.
