I would not say they shout. They can be just a hair leaner (frequency balance a bit brighter) than some other speakers, and highly detailed for sure. But the ones I had with the DFR8 drivers, Alternate tuning, and deflex panels behind the drivers, never sounded "shouty". The older cabinet (no alt tuning) with the FE206EM drivers, especially without felting the phase plug, was a tad shouty and grainy/harsh.
Mated with a good, well integrated (read fast!) sub setup to pick up the low end, the new HDT incarnation sounds great. Absolutely no shout or brightness... and it's slightly bright presentation (without the sub) I think benefits its integration with the sub, resulting in flatter overall frequency balance.... well lets just say it sounds right.
I will say that they only lack a little in the lower mids area... say "fullness" of the mids. But then no speaker is perfect is it?
Perhaps a "shout" is coming from other components in the chain?
