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

@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.

Apogee Duetta Sig driven by Krell KSA150 from 1989 to 1999.

It gave fast and exiting sound although it wend to 35Hz or so.

I replaced it with Avalon Ascent II to get sub bass.

But I should have kept it until it got out of order although Avalon is not that bad either.

2 weeks ago, I got Raal Sr1a headphone with ribbon driver which remind me of Apogee Duetta Sig with fast and open sound.

Now Raal Sr1a will be my end game headphone.

For me it was the Polk Audio LSi 15

Not the most refined, and far from the most expensive I owned ( those would be a couple of Verity Audio speakers I owned in the past}.

The LSi 15 sounded...RAW, alive and very dynamic. No exceptional bass, or high frequencies, although those ring radiator tweeters were pretty good.

Can still be had for audiophile peanut$, I remember reading a review that mentioned they compared to 5k speakers, and they did. I had a big McCormack 225 amp and Cary tube preamp at the time. But the Polks sounded great even with the diminutive Arcam A85 integrated. That last inexpensive combination could still be an extraordinary bargain today.

A lot of fun with no bragging rights, but amazing performers still.
