Bifwynne: I like my music loud, too. But that sensation you are experiencing is, most likely, slowly contributing to accumulated hearing loss. IOW, you may be listening too loudly. As some of the members of my local audiophile society like to say when someone cranks up the dBs, "are you in this hobby just for today, or the long term?"
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.
