high end standmounts that do not punish poor recordings?


recently arrived a the realization that the variety of music I listen to simply does not lend itself well to many  'audiophile' speakers

closest I had to my current goal were Dynaudio Special 40's

Next best was Heritage Specials and then Totem element Fire v2 (screeching tweeter on the Totem)

Harbeth 30.2xd's and Super5plus xds definitely did not work for my recordings 

shortlist at the moment is Franco Serblin Accordo, KEF Reference 1 meta, Dynaudio Condifence 20

simple system to  be paired with my REL Carbon special and Hegel H600 (really love both these pieces)

appreciate any recommendations

Another option would be to use an EQ unit in the signal path. Use something as simple as a 4 band Schiit Loki Mini and you can tone down strident or spitty vocals or add a bit of warmth, boost or tone down bass, or even add a bit more sparkle. The nice thing about the Schiit units is there is a switch to completely take the EQ out of the signal path when you don't need to use it.  This lets you keep the speakers you love for the good recordings but gives you an option to improve things for the bad recordings.
