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.

Linaeum Model 10, 10" 2-way with the Linauem tweeter, a unique dipole made from two tweeters mounted back to back, with the cones replaced with a ribbon of some kind of thin plastic. The idea being the coil starts the sound wave which then travels along the ribbon, relieving the coil from having to move the entire mass all at once like in a cone design. So in other words thinking back it was a different approach to the same mass problem Tekton has addressed in their very successful designs. Anyway the Linauems were warm in the bass but nobody cared because the sound stage was to die for! Like one of the most critical guys to ever hear my system said, "You are swimming in it!" Soundstage champs. The voice coil could overheat the ribbon, the upgraded tweeter was a Frankenstein, and the bass hump got to be annoying. But the feeling of being right there in it, wow.

How I miss those speakers. The first wife, who took them, not so much. But the speakers! I still search from time to time. Never seen one. Anyone of you ever gets the chance, go for it. (The speakers, I mean.)
