Speakers that turn your analytical mind off?


I am fortunate enough to own a wonderful pair of speakers and yet I catch myself noting how good a flute sounds or some other dissected component of the music rather than the music as a whole. When I'm in the shower and listening to sonos through our bathroom in ceiling speakers, I don't dissect the music and find it much easier to connect with the music.
For those left brained folks, have you found speakers that turn your analytical mind off and allow you to connect with the music ass a whole?

My OHM 100 series 3 and F5 series 3 are pure joy to just listen to and enjoy the music for extended periods. You can easily focus on whatever analytical detail of the music you choose to as well, but they do not draw attention to themselves as transducers, which is key. ALso OHM Ls are a pleasure to listen to as well, though more conventional in design.

Less so with my Dynaudio COntour 1.3 mkII and Triangle Titus XL monitors, though these also can do quite well at not drawing attention to themselves, at least when set up accordingly, but in general these will tend to draw more attention to themselves as transducers under certain circumstances.
