Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers?


I've been auditioning speakers in the $5k to $8k range. I liked some of the Dynaudio, Sonus Faber, and even B&Ws in that range. Maybe it was the setup but in the back of my mind thought all of these could sound exciting but also fatiguing long term. And I'd hate to spend that kind of doe with that being the case.

I'm looking to use a solid state Cary amp and the tubed Cary SLP 05 pre for electronics FWIW.

From other threads I'm hearing Proacs Joseph Audio Aerials Harbeth and others may fit the bill. What are your favorite speakers for musicality and lack of listening fatigue? I'll be traveling to the next state to audition more next week.

Larry, I've been reading of your dilemma, If you are still seeking speaker cable suggestions, I recommended Tempo Electric solid core silver in Teflon tubing. I replaced Auditorium A-23 cables with them, and I'm very satisfied with them.

I was able to buy a set for each amplifier at their oh-so-reasonable prices. They are working well with both amps, an SET 300B, and First Watt M2, driving my custom Tannoy HPD 315's.

On another subject, a friend in Oregon replaced his Veritys with large Ushers, which are a marked imporovement in his room. Also, try and listen to some Tannoys, I can't give them enough praise.

Finally, many of the posts on this thread were very amusing and entertaining, nicely done, fellows!

Regards,
Dan
