If you could just pick one instrument that you think sounds best on your speakers

Maggies:  Linda Ronstadt, Maria Muldar

I chose my speakers  largely for the way they reproduce vocals, but I think piano sounds better (more authentic/convincing).  Dynaudio Contour 1.3 mkII

This can be very misleading.... Speakers are only the tail end. What precedes them can make a speaker into an entirely different creature. Even speaker placement can change its character. Be that as it may... In my system. One speaker stands out. I listen nearfield in very close proximity to where I sit. The speakers in my room need a bit of bottom enhancement . On good recordings I refer to them as headphones worn off of my ears. Audience 1+1V2’s. They are a breed of their own.  Drums, bass, violins, electric guitars... anything well recorded.

Other than voice, I like guitars-dobros, acoustic, banjos, mandolins and fiddles. B&W's from 600 series from around turn of century and 685 S2's.

For my CLS speakers it has to be the violin (or any stringed instrument). I swear you just about hear the rosin flaking off the bow!

For my main system (Wilson Maxx 2) while everything is well rendered, the low bass, particularly drum, sounds better in a way that few experience. I never realized that most speakers render low bass imperfectly, with definite overhang, until I listened to the bass on the Wilsons. You hear the drum, and then it stops, No ringing (I'm not talking about reflected sound that come a fraction of a second later, but a situation where the main note slurs a little and hangs on for a fraction of a second).

You can experience the same thing at a classical music performance in a hall without proper sound treatment vs. one that has.
