It seems to me that it is systems --- not speakers alone (or even speakers primarily) --- that can draw you in or turn you off. Many of the speakers listed will be wonderfully musical (non-analytical) with the right electronics and source material. But the same speakers with harsh analytical electronics will sound harsh and analytical. This is why a great deal of digital music is so non-engaging --- it does not draw you in even if your speakers are capable of drawing you in (were they fed better signal). So, a harsh sounding CD player will make any speaker sound bad. To me, the recording itself and the CD player/DAC actually are more critical than the speakers as regards drawing you in (at least in general).
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?
