???YOUR Personal Favorite???Why???

I hate to pile on, but the Pulsar 2's are all the standmount speaker I need.  Though I do like the looks of those Vivid Kayas.

DeVore O/96 (they come with a stand...) with Air Tight ATM-300 and Lumin X1...  I also have Well Tempered TT, Line Magnetic PS, and a passive pre-amp...  all of which are disconnected since I got the X1.

B+W Nautilus 805’s on their dedicated stands. Still amazing after all these years. Used (obviously) with stands around $2500 or so. 

I’m thrilled with my TAD ME-1 speakers.  They do everything well and perform above their size.  

As mentioned earlier, I went and auditioned the Fleetwood Deville. Very good, but still prefer my Harbeth 30.2 40th for the price. Also heard the Devore O96 at the same time. While not a bookshelf, these speakers are truly amazing, regardless if you like the look or not. Highly recommend to check them out.
