the smoothest sounding speaker


Any recommendations for a smooth sounding speaker? One that won't give you ear fatigue playing CD's. One that doesn't require playing vinyl to sound good.
Vandersteen's come to mind but I would like better resolution. How about Aerials? Is it possible to have both good resolution and still non-fatiguing sound?

Jean Marie Reynaud speakers - ultra smooth and rich presentation with great detail, just not hyper-etched.
Good point, Ozzy.

Might be worth swapping the Denon mini-system for a good tubed integrated amp, then getting speakers.

I think (as of today) driver distortion is my biggest detterent to enjoying the music. I can live without all the detail, bass, or treble, but if distortion is high.....no way.
Then, I would think electrostats or planars would be your first, and natural, choice.
Jean Marie Reynaud speakers probably also fall into the category of "smooth and resolving" when paired with the proper electronics.

Beyond that, they are amazing musical and engrossing.
