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

Early in my experience I had some Altec 19s. Big boxes - big sound. Stupidly I sold them and up graded to small boxes. If I had a room for a 2nd system big enough I'd get another pair.

The most "fun" speaker I have are my JBL 4319 monitors, which are way bigger than what most think of with monitors. Right out of the box they brought a smile that's been forever fixed on my face. I don't see myself ever selling them.

All the best,
Nonoise

Full-range single driver designed on the Tractrix theory! Very engaging experience that draws me into the music and lifts my soul!

Odyssey Kismet Reference floorstanding speakers(original).  Had them set up and listened to every day for 7 years.  Loved them, always extremely musical and zero complaints.   Wanted a floorstanding speaker that could go against the wall an got burned.  I am now running Golden Ear Triton Reference speakers which I love but miss the Kismets to this day.  I only sold them because wifey was constantly on my case saying “you told me you would sell the 3 other pairs of speakers to get some of your money back.”   The speakers went for $3600.00 new and I bought them from a guy in Texas for I believe $1500.00 which were only 2 months old.  I sold them for $1400.00.  Miss them to this day.  

Linaeum Model 10, 10" 2-way with the Linauem tweeter, a unique dipole made from two tweeters mounted back to back, with the cones replaced with a ribbon of some kind of thin plastic. The idea being the coil starts the sound wave which then travels along the ribbon, relieving the coil from having to move the entire mass all at once like in a cone design. So in other words thinking back it was a different approach to the same mass problem Tekton has addressed in their very successful designs. Anyway the Linauems were warm in the bass but nobody cared because the sound stage was to die for! Like one of the most critical guys to ever hear my system said, "You are swimming in it!" Soundstage champs. The voice coil could overheat the ribbon, the upgraded tweeter was a Frankenstein, and the bass hump got to be annoying. But the feeling of being right there in it, wow.

How I miss those speakers. The first wife, who took them, not so much. But the speakers! I still search from time to time. Never seen one. Anyone of you ever gets the chance, go for it. (The speakers, I mean.)
