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.

Wavetouch speaker has considerably less (if not zero) listener fatigue than conventional speakers. If speakers mentioned in this thread have no or less listener fatigue, relatively speaking, WT speaker has no listener fatigue

I’ve arrived at my conclusion after I’ve been using Wavetouch horns many years and thinking why WT speaker has no listener fatigue. More studies are needed from smarter people with more knowledge and experience. They may find better explanation.

“I am a pioneer in this new field/technology.” is what people told me after they heard WT speakers. I am still learning and want to know more. I hope someone find the better explanation that will convince everyone to agree.

Wow, Alex, blowing your own horn is a specialty. Look, leave it to others to do that. Self-reporting is notoriously unreliable. And very, very unflattering.

Larrybou , I personally feel that the Mozart Grand is the sweet spot within the Vienna Acoustics Grand series line up. It just has a little smoother of a top end compared to the Beethoven Grand and Baby Grand to me.

Listerner fatigue primarily comes from clipping amps, which 3 out of 4 "piles are running whether they believe it or not, and you brain saying
"enough already" I 'm wasted from converting all these 1's into sine waves for hour after hour.
