There are a couple of things going on here which may or may not apply to the particular speakers you auditioned, but I think make pretty good generalities. First, there are any number of hobbyists , particularly in the single-driver camp that prefer a somewhat exaggerated midrange. They feel that this adds "detail" and sparkle to the sound. Second, a manufacturer may only get five minutes of your attention in a showroom. A speaker with heavy bass and exaggerated midrange will stand out over a flat FR speaker. Many commercial products are designed this way.
