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?

The amps are an easy go lighter in weight modification. Speakers forty pounds or less each are now the criteria. Going with bookshelf speakers in 220²’ room. Will have to forgo awesome bass because I simply do not want subs. The ProAc Tablette 10 is the front runner.
