the smoothest sounding speaker

Any recommendations for a smooth sounding speaker? One that won't give you ear fatigue playing CD's. One that doesn't require playing vinyl to sound good.
Vandersteen's come to mind but I would like better resolution. How about Aerials? Is it possible to have both good resolution and still non-fatiguing sound?

Don’t think a smooth speaker will help much. CD give ear fatigue mostly due to the fact that the music is very compressed. Another gent on the forum posted this http://spectrum.ieee.org/aug07/5429 . It is quite an interesting read.

Of course, smoothness and resolution at the speaker are also dependent on all of the gear and cables upstream.

Good point, Ozzy.

Might be worth swapping the Denon mini-system for a good tubed integrated amp, then getting speakers.

Aerial 7Bs have a smooth high end. They might be worth a listen.

i would say a quad 57 is very smooth while still sounding like music. Likewise a spendor 3/5.
