Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers?

I've been auditioning speakers in the $5k to $8k range. I liked some of the Dynaudio, Sonus Faber, and even B&Ws in that range. Maybe it was the setup but in the back of my mind thought all of these could sound exciting but also fatiguing long term. And I'd hate to spend that kind of doe with that being the case.

I'm looking to use a solid state Cary amp and the tubed Cary SLP 05 pre for electronics FWIW.

From other threads I'm hearing Proacs Joseph Audio Aerials Harbeth and others may fit the bill. What are your favorite speakers for musicality and lack of listening fatigue? I'll be traveling to the next state to audition more next week.

They're in my home now. Aerial 10t. I test many records before selling and grading and play them upto whole day especially on weekends. Eeven music I don't like sounds great and no fatigue.

Wavetouch, what a load of horse _ _ _ _ you are spinning.

This includes the "almost all listener fatigue comes from your room acoustics".

Most listener fatigue comes distortion in the chain including speakers. That you have supposedly produced a speaker that has "no listener fatigue" is a claim so huge as well as dogmatic as to lose any credibility you were looking for.

I heard the Vienna Acoustic Beethoven Baby Grands and liked them. The whole time I was thinking something like this with the scale and size of a full floor stander would be better.

But it seems like the Baby Grand is better regard eroded than the concert grand. True?

I meant "Mihorn" was spreading horse _ _ _ _. I called him by his company name, Wavetouch. I hope most of you knew what I meant.
