Most enjoyable speaker you heard under $800??

GoldenEar Aon 2, new w/warranty for $799.98.

As an owner of Magneplanar 1.7s, I also would put in for MMGs at $599/pair.

Every main speaker (as opposed to center channel or surround) in Magnepan's lineup was an Absolute Sound Editor's Choice at its price point this year--MMG, .7, 1.7, 3.7i, and 20.7.

MMG is good choice with right gear.

my B-stock Soliloquy 5.0i's

+1 Magnumpi. Silverline Minuets.

Reynaud Twin MkII, which was introduced to North America by Randy Bankert for $750/pr.

I also like my vintage Elac S517 wide range drivers (purchased used for $5/pr).
