What do you consider the most musical speakers—$15000 & under


I thought mr_ m brought up a good point when when he said he would pick the most musical over the most accurate. His post was in "Searching for the Most Accurate Speaker under $15000"

I heard the 2ce-ci? years ago There was a fairly new owner in the shop just looking for others to bask in the joy of listening to them, according to the new satisfied owner the rest of speaker manufacturers were wasting time. they sounded more like speakers than music to me so even vandy's need careful component matching. I lost count of the number of speakers i've owned, forget about the home demos! For me they come in bunches. I get a pair I like and they stay 10-15 years it's the time between that costs so much and the turnover builds up. It seems speakers are a compromise and if done correctly the more  money the less compromise, so personal priority becomes a factor. n the last 5 years i've bought 4 pair of speakers hoping to get the bass, imaging, resolution and dynamics I enjoy so much out of a single box and about the time I start to think the salon2 is incompatible with my room I reposition them sit back and think, maybe i'm good for another 10-15 years.

Accurate measurement should mean the speaker doesn't add or subtract anything from the signal being fed right? so if you have a room that adds or subtracts different fq's speakers that compensate for it will in fact more accurate right? If it's a known quantity that typical room reflections add 3-5 db at 3-5khz (pulling these figures out of the air for my argument) a designer that accounts for the typical room would be more accurate/musical than the razor flat measuring speaker.
