What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why?


Not the most expensive, not the best reviewed, not the biggest, but the most FUN.  You know, that ONE that just makes you throw on some more music and keep listening, the one that makes your toes tap, your head bob, your ass move the most.  The one that makes you think to yourself "damn, why doesn't everyone have a pair of these?" Let 'er rip.

Man you took the words right out of my mouth. I used to own those baby’s in high school, and though a bit boomy, man I loved them with my technics receiver and turntable. I even rigged up that tiny MXR 10 band eq on long cables that sat next to me so I could remix songs.

Kinda makes me smile that all these years later, I’m running a Pioneer related speaker - if you could call my TAD CR1’s that.

Back to the HPM-100’s, Eventually I decided to bypass the tone controls and cheap binding posts and hard wire to the crossover. They sounded so much better. I feel almost no one has really heard what the speakers were capable of. I gave them to a friend and many years later heard them in his apartment hooked up to a cheap receiver. He easily had the best sounding system of any of my friends, and probably still runs them till this day.
