Why do people say Yamaha HS5 (or the entire HS series) is uncomfortable to listen to?

YAMAHA HS8 vs ADAM AUDIO T8V SHOOTOUT

Recently I re connected with an old friend and turns out he now does music production and recording like myself.

Question about speakers placement :

Below are the Klippel vertical contour measurements for Yamaha HS5, it shows the variance of frequency response if you go above or below off-axis from the twitter driver.

Bigger Soundstage

Do you use a subwoofer? Depending on the content,* the HS5 needs help with low bass; I doubt you need a bass trap. A spec of “frequency range to 54Hz” implies down -10dB could border on inaudible, per Fletcher-Munson, and likely have more than a target of 3% harmonic distortion, and aggravate multi-
