???YOUR Personal Favorite???Why???

One thing I almost forgot to mention; - - - - Obviously, being a small 2-way loudspeaker, the" SPECIAL FOURTIES" share one aspect that 98% of stand mount speakers share. - - - A limited presentation of heavy, accurate and deep low bass reproduction. Essentially, if the type of music you normally listen to demands, to a degree, strong and precise bass reproduction below 35-40 Hz., then I would also suggest you consider matching the "40's" with a single or pair of precision sub-woofers. In that area I only have one recommendation. "REL'S"!!!! 

Beautifully and expertly crafted SUBS to seamlessly marry to the most delicate or "MONSTER" sound reproduction system you could possibly dream of. The best of the best!! Look them up also.

Sonus Farber Auditor M's. Have used with Hegel H300 integrated, then DarTZeel LHC-208 integrated. Very natural- enough detail with warmth.

++++1 for Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene speakers, have been thrilled each and every time I've listened to them......seem to be a little less sensitive to electronics.

+1 on axpert’s recommendation to add subwoofers if your listening includes any serious bass components.  I have floorstanding Fyne F702 speakers that use an 8” woofer, and they are definitely a bit shy on the deep bass.  I added a pair of Rythmik F12 subs, and the result was simply astounding.  I don’t know exactly how to describe it, but the entire lower register, not just the deep bass (I have the fixed filter set at 50 hz), seems “more alive, more organic.”  When the music includes bass, it’s there, tight and solid, never flabby or hanging on if not intended.  The Rythmiks are made here in the U.S., although I suspect the amps are made overseas.  They have “filled a hole” in my listening pleasure, which is really what it is all about.
