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.

A pair of the original Carver Amazing loudspeakers. These were FUN speakers!! They sound incredibly good, AND so many high end audio companies said Bob Carver could never pull it off!

Dahlquists certainly gets alot of mention.  I loved the DQ 10 but couldn't afford it when they came out!

@bobheinatz ....I picked mine up  July ’18. $375...one owner, all original, mirror imaged, mint condition but refoamed. I’m still blown away when I play something very familiar I haven’t heard in quite a few years. You just hear new things! Look for a pair....I bet they’d compete with todays $5k range of speakers. Not sure what they retailed for new..

40 years ago, Frazier Sevens and a Marantz receiver and Dual TT. We would clear out the garage, move the rig and have a spontaneous block party. Those were the days when someone called the police, all you had to do was share your beer with them.

Sejodiren,

I think they sold for about $2,000 new. I will be buying a pair of rebuilt Quads 57's in the near future.  That's another speaker that has a midrange to die for.
