"Natural and balanced". I understand what you mean and I feel a similar way about my Tannoys, but it is a difficult term to quantify. Some loudspeakers gave a tonal balance that is just that much easier to listen to and live with in the long term.
They might not be perfect or anywhere close, but with no striking artificialities, or "trying too hard" unnatural exaggerations, they might attain the minimum amount of 'listener fatigue'. They make you want to listen and return time and time again.
It's a question of a fine balance between being compelling without any constant annoyances. This kind of ability can render a surprising variety of music listenable - which can only be a good thing.
