"favorite" that I own? I must say the $300 pair of Acoustic Energy Aegis Ones I bought shortly after joining this forum ___ years ago. (The site has changed a couple of times and I lost track of my sign-up date, but it was somewhere around the turn of the century.)

The AE's are no longer in my main system, but I've kept them because they remind of the feeling I got when I listened to them for the first time. They're hooked up to an old Sansui integrated that I don't listen to enough these days.
