What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why?

shtinkydog OP: No, it was at a casino in Palm Springs, CA.  They have them positioned throughout the outdoor covered walkways.  I've only been to Vegas a couple of times.  I have a cousin there.  I plan to go for New Years. 

@ellajeanelle enjoy and good luck! 

Peavy Spiders about 40 years ago.   They were average PA speakers and we powered them with two Kenwood 40 watt amps.   We set them up in our barn and we were "stylin".  

The "Mermans" that I designed and built for under $1,500/pr with used drivers including JBL 2241H 18", JBL 2251J 9.5" and modified Great Heil.

They can play from a whisper to symphony/concert levels in a 5,000 cu ft room without compression/distortion.

Never have I heard a speaker with this level of detail and soundstage/imaging, and I wish that everyone could experience it.  The system (add an Oppo95 and Yamaha RX-Z9) was compared favorably against a $100,000+ system.  I find "Easter Eggs" like you can’t believe in just about every cut I listen to. THAT’S WHERE THE REAL FUN IS! Unfortunately, YouTube does not convey these attributes.

After years of changing speakers, cables, DACs, etc I was in serious Hi-Fi burnout.
With a majority of my music being metal, prog, rock, or blues I think I was chasing my tail trying to find qualities in the recordings that just aren’t there.

With my free time extremely limited by family and work I decided to downgrade. I wanted something rugged that I could put in the room and that could workhorse for the next 20 years. A pair of “set-and-forget” speakers that just played music.

I took a gamble on a new pair of Klipsch LaScalas in July and I am having a lot of fun in the hobby again. I got some LTA tube gear and everything just sounds “right.”

Definitely the most fun I’ve had listening to music in my system in a while, even if it’s not the “best” sound I’ve ever had.
