@russ69 A few I think of when I hear "lively"
- Coincident (Canada)
- Living Voice (UK)
- Zu Druid Series (USA)
All are pretty easy to drive.
IMHE, the Zu speakers are quite polarizing. I've been with groups of friends listening to them and some fall in love while others look like they're sucking on a lemon. While not my cup of tea, they certainly are lively, popular and come in tons of cool color options. Most threads rave about company support. Cheers,
