What is a good all around high quality speaker to purchase?


I'm looking for a high performance all around musical speaker. My previous speakers are:

Bose 501 - I was young and they served a purpose

Infinity SM150 - terrible from the start

Boston Acoustics T1000 - actually a nice all around speaker

Polk SDA-SRS1tl - loved the full sound, not accurate at all

Thiel 2.3 - Very dry sounding

B&W N802 - perhaps my favorite, but needed to be played loud

Thiel 3.7 - I think Jim's cancer affected his hearing

B&W 802D - 1st gen, still have.....please stop my ears from bleeding

 

What do you suggest?

Depends on what type of music you like.  If you like acoustic and classical, I don’t know if there is anything better than electrostatic speakers.  Sound Lab is my favorite in the category, that I’m aware of.  However, you will want subwoofers with the electrostats, as bass is lacking in them.  If you like modern techno music, perhaps looks for a different category.
