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.

Hmm, I always thought she did a good with rhythm on piano (even though her crooning does get draggy at times).

Oh well the Parcifals didn't turn Little Richard into Keith Jarrett either.. Maybe I need a better amp.
Do you have the woofer cabinets firing forwards or backwards? If backwards, do you have enough clearance behind them (5-6 feet)?
I've heard the Parsifal's potential at Goodwin's in Boston. They sound much better there than in my room. I still love them and understand a speakers potential is limited by my adventure and wealth. Pretty simple stuff here.
