This seems to be a pretty common thing here on this forum, which you have obviously noticed. There seems to be a feeling among several that B&W's possess certain characteristics that people don't like or care for. Some say B&W's have a very dry tonal balance, lack in the bass department and can sound bright. Some say they come across as being at times analytical, lack emotion and can sound too hi-fi. I've heard several pairs of B&W speakers from the bottom lines on up and I have found a lot is dependent on the electronics driving them. I personally think that the reasons behind the "negative vibes" are a tad bit overblown myself. It's a very subjective thing, as you said. The Asylum just happens to have a lot of people who do not care too much for them, although there are several here who love them. I've owned a few pairs in the past myself and thought they made music pretty well. It's all subjective!
