What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why?


Not the most expensive, not the best reviewed, not the biggest, but the most FUN.  You know, that ONE that just makes you throw on some more music and keep listening, the one that makes your toes tap, your head bob, your ass move the most.  The one that makes you think to yourself "damn, why doesn't everyone have a pair of these?" Let 'er rip.

After years of changing speakers, cables, DACs, etc I was in serious Hi-Fi burnout.
With a majority of my music being metal, prog, rock, or blues I think I was chasing my tail trying to find qualities in the recordings that just aren’t there.

With my free time extremely limited by family and work I decided to downgrade. I wanted something rugged that I could put in the room and that could workhorse for the next 20 years. A pair of “set-and-forget” speakers that just played music.

I took a gamble on a new pair of Klipsch LaScalas in July and I am having a lot of fun in the hobby again. I got some LTA tube gear and everything just sounds “right.”

Definitely the most fun I’ve had listening to music in my system in a while, even if it’s not the “best” sound I’ve ever had.

@kingdeezie I think a lot of us would love to have your downgrade "issue".  I love your story.  Congratulations!!

Revel Salon 2 speakers!!!  From top to bottom, the Revel Salon 2 speakers perform at such a high level of proficiency, they took me off the speaker merry-go-round.       Phenomenal speakers!!! 

It's a tie between my stacked Advents and a pair of JBL L110s that addressed everything I hated about the bloated and harsh L100. The Advnts were big and neutral, very forgiving with bass forever, but ultimately the 'restrained' high end made me want more, but i did more than a little "One more cut" listening on them. The JBLs were the first computer-aligned Thiele-Small design JBL ever did, along with their first soft dome tweeter. They nailed it. Absolutely accurate, non-fatiguing, great imaging, tight extended bass, and of course, JBL quality cabinetry. Drove them with an extremely underrated Marantz 3250 preamp and 170DC MOSFET 85w/ch stack with the matching tuner that had a real oscilloscope built in. Should have never sold that rig, but a new wife and a move ... and you all know the rest.

Probably replied a few years ago, but would have to be my HPM 100's. They survived quite a few parties. Bought them when they first came out, I'd guess around 1979.
