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?

Years ago I acquired a pair of Avalon Acoustics Eidolon speakers.  They are just remarkable in the holographic sound, clarity and nice bass.  I drive those with an Ayon Audio Triton III KT88 tube amp.  Ahem.  

You might think that was enough, but in my home office I have recently upgraded several older speakers with Legacy Studio HDs paired with a Lyngdorf BW-2 sub ...driven by either (I change it) a Raven Audio Blackhawk LE 6L6GCs -or- a newer Octave V70 6550s.  I’m knocked out by the sound of these speakers with the tubes.  I’ve got a lot of room treatment in this space, primarily furniture and 1 foot hex sound panels along the wall near the ceiling.  Those actually make a very nice dampening difference (the 5x5 glass window would otherwise be a mess).

 

@patrickdowns I saw your response and was surprised you wouldn't stay in the time-and-phase-correct family by including the Model 7s as a dream speaker, should you have a lot of audiobucks.  I have owned a few of the brands you listed and love my Quatros.

@patrickdowns : I am now onto my third pair of DCM Time Windows! I had my first pair in 1977 after reading about them in The Audio Critic. They were listed as the Reference B choice for speakers. The TW's still sound wonderful! I use a Sumo Andromeda amp with them.
