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

Not the most expensive, not the best reviewed, not the biggest, but the most FUN.  You know, that ONE that just makes you throw on some more music and keep listening, the one that makes your toes tap, your head bob, your ass move the most.  The one that makes you think to yourself "damn, why doesn't everyone have a pair of these?" Let 'er rip.

TheApogee mini grands.
these True ribbon speakers were very fast as well as dynamic 
plus the Sub system in a seperate enclosure run On a seperate Amplifier. Still one of the best speakers of all time .these put to shame many $20k + today and were only $6k.  Itis too bad they went out of business.

Oh boy, that takes me back.  Bozak Concert Grands.  Late 70s / early 80s.  Tri-amped with a pair of Dyna ST70s and a Hafler DH-100 driven by a modded Hafler DH-101.  ARC tube electronic crossover.  AR table modded with a Grace 707 arm and a Shure V-15 something or the other (current model).  Dynamic and big.  What fun they were.  Midranges had a slight tendency toward breakup, but what great 

Had fun with a pair of Acoustat Model 4's.  Fast, bass shy.  A bit thin sounding but great rhythm.  

Now having fun with a home built speaker system.  Trying to capture the fun of the Bozaks along with the precision of modern drivers.

In the early 70's I bought the 901's everyone said were so amazing.
A few months later a friend took me to a new place called Speaker Lab.
I bought the kit version of their top model -a Klipsch corner horn clone.
All in under $500 assuming many hours of free labor cutting up the 2 sheets each of particle board that went into the interior folded horn.
I kept those bad boys for many moves and eventually they went to guy
whose phone number had the last for digits that spelled ROCK!!

My current speaker, Cube audio nenuphar, coupled with a SET tube amplifier! 
I have had many speakers with various amps, including focal Aria 936, Wilson sabrinas, german physiks unlimited, kef reference 5s.
The ease of flow, the dynamics, the emotional connection, the realism are unparalleled. Truly addictive.
A good SET tube amp pairing is a must to get the best out of these efficient, crossover-less speakers (or a low power class A Solid state).
Highly recommend. I believe i have landed my final speaker with this one ))
