Budrew,
I appreciate that you asked what we enjoy instead of asking us to dictate our tastes to you.
As a listener to jazz and classical music,I value the interplay of instrumental lines and the timbres of the instruments(including voices)in orchestrated combinations more than I value a speaker's ability to reproduce frequency extremes and dynamic ranges.
In my price range,after much trial and error,I'm happy with the Maggie 1.6 s. In my opionion,they require a reasonably dead wall behind them,at least five or six feet of "breathing room" and high current amplification.
