My current speakers, Harbeth 7ES-2, have been the most satisfying in my current rig. They seem to do all things well. The workmanship is top notch and Harbeth manufactures their own drivers. These are the quintessential British monitors and come from a company well known for producing incredibly accurate studio monitors. I do believe that there is a certain synergy with various audio components and right now I think I've found a happy place...a rare thing to find when infected with the audio nervosa sickness!!!
After buying and selling god only knows how many components, I'm using my tried and true "backup" system and couldn't be happier:
-Amp: Conrad Johnson Premier 11A running matched Svetlana KT88 output tubes.
-Preamp: Conrad Johnson Premier 10B running vintage GE and Telefunken tubes
-CD Player: Audio Research CD3 MK2
I also had good experiences with ProAc speakers (another Britsish monitor). Vandersteen was another satisfying brand!!! Good luck!
