What speaker is the most musical, one you never want to sell?


I've ran into a few "permanent" components over the years, 

I'm wondering what are the most satisfying speaker you've owned?

My favorite ones that I have owned are my Audio Note AN-E SPE HEs.  Musical and engaging.  They are keepers.  Also love my Pure Audio Project Duet 15 with AC PIFE drivers and modded wiring.  Probably also keepers.  If I had to pick one, the Audio Notes are my favorites.

Oh many fleeting girlfriends over the 50 years of building and selling gear… notables would include Quad ESL >>> Stacked >>> HQD, various Beveridge ( rip Bev and RM ), Apogee ( another RIP ), Sequerra Ribbon ( RIP )…

big Infinity ( RIP )

currently running Apogee, Tidal and TAD…. Blessed w lovely music

I was into Klipsch early in my audio journey. Heresy’s first followed by the Chorus. Both were terrific speakers. But around the year 2001 I heard the Legacy Audio Whispers. I was stunned by them. Just blew me away. BUT, way out of my price range at the time. I promised myself I would get them someday. It took me until 2009 to do it.  I  was living in St. Louis at the time, and Bill Duldleson, the founder, owner, and chef designer at Legacy actually delivered them to my home, set them up, and dialed in the DSP that came with them. Their factory is in Springfield, IL and only about two hour from STL. Anyway, I still have them and still love them as much as I did when I heard them for the first time. I doubt I will ever sell them. 

i always dreamed to buy these speakers...

i am curious to know if they perform well in very near listening field...

 

I’ll probably keep my Spica TC-50 forever. They share a lot in common with the Dunlavy but are not as physically imposing.
