Best speaker for songs like Heart - Alone


Hello!
I have tried to get help with finding speakers (and amp) recently on this forum, but with no luck. I try again with an other topic.

What speaker (and amp) plays Heart - Alone in the best way? ALL high-end speakers I have heard plays this song very bad. It's way too bright and hard, specially in the chorus, and it's lacks of bass so it sounds thin.

I want the song to be soft and relaxed in treble, and there should be good bass in the song.

If I play this song on a cheap boomblaster on my car stereo it sounds really good, but on a $10.000 stereo system it always sounds very bad.

It's frustrating, because I want to buy a good system (cheap speakers can't play very deep bass and are not always so punchy in the bass), but I can't find anything that works.

I don't want vintage equipment. It must be possible to buy it new. EQ is of course an opportunity, but anywat I want suggestions for speakers and amp that plays this 80's hard rock music in a good way.

Thanks

I just listened to that song, both the original and the digitally remastered. It is a tad bright and definately lacks bass and "punch". It sounded fine at moderate to low listening levels. My advice is to get a subwoofer or eq; some way to adjust the bass would help you out. I wouldn't ever use just one song to assess a stereo and like others have said, in order to build a stereo to make that one song sound good, you'll be comprimising the sound on most other songs.
Interesting... I was going to recommend Vandersteen 2's also. I think It might be the sound Panther is after.
