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?

@baranyi - not "off the AN carousel", they are fine speakers and electronics. Still have my AN/e and enjoy them at my summer spot. I just came across a set of custom Valencias done by a local shop and thoroughly enjoy them more than anything I have or had. I knew the second I heard them that they were right in my lane. As far as Audio Note, I would get a set of TOTL J if I were to go that route again. The AN/e are amazing but need to be in corners to get the most out of them. I don't have that kind of room at home so didn't work where I had originally planned. If you have AN in your sights, they are great, you will NOT be disappointed in any way unless you have a same corner-less situation. Just my experience.

 

 

 

I've enjoyed my Infinity IRS Beta system for decades and have no plans to replace it. It has occasionally been a nuisance to maintain, but it's always been worth it.

@johnnotkathi I think we share similar tastes -  Dynaco A25s, Stacked OLAs, ADS L810, all were in my living room(s) over the years. In various environments the LS3/5a, the LS-50, and various Magnepans have wowed me, but didn't work in my room.

Currently, My Monitor Audio S300 7Gs are one of the best overall speakers I've ever had, reminding me of the L810 in many ways, but with better dynamics. My first thought on hearing them, these are JBLs done right. In my office, a pair of Focal/JM Lab Chorus 705s continue to wow me with their clean vocal presentation, balance, soundstage, depth of field, and a tweeter that is absolutely seductive.

I shouldn’t have sold my panels from Pascal louvet acoustic…

now I’m looking for the same musicality but can’t find it in the range!

the sad thing is that he wants to get retired and has stopped to produce this model.
