Our milage varies and in my case it's still quite short.
In any case, I would place glare on top of my list of appalling qualities of modern high-end loudspeakers.
This glare (unlike clarity) results from an exaggerated high frequency response that produces an apparent sense of audiophile "air" and resolution when in fact it's actually destroying tonal balance and smoothness or "naturalness", a bit like an over-exposed photograph.
It also disturbs me that the majority of these speakers are unable to play smoothly at high SPL levels but I am unqualified to comment on the technical cause of such inability.
Cheers,
