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.

I never heard of the Verity speaker line before starting this thread but ended up buying nice pair of used Parcifal Ovations used on Audiogon.

Thanks for your help!
Well, you bought one of the best speaker lines on the market, based on sound, not "paid by advertising" reviews. Enjoy.
I'm really excited about receiving these. Barring another electronic meltdown I'm expecting these to be keepers. Now the expense will come by upgrading all my electronics. I think my Cary solid state amp will be up to the task - but combined with the Cary SP-98L tube pre might be a bit warm.

Can't wait to find out tho!
