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

BTW, if you want as accurate a sound as possible, you might consider a great headphone / amplifier pairing....you take the room (and the low ceilings) out of the equation, and still play your speakers simultaneously to feel the music through your body (Paul M. talks about the different experience between both in a recent chapter of his YT). My idea is to play both.

Based on the ceiling height, I am guessing it is a basement. Low ceiling could be an issue, as pointed out a few times here. Stay away from panels of any kind, ime. Look, part of the merry go round based on my experience is truly based on the quality of our recordings, and how they "interact" with our system/room setup and personal taste. From experience with your other owned speakers (in part, of the room they were in), take the best of each, based on memory/time frame of ownership, and add them together. For me, a pair of Klipsch Lascala AL5, with a pair of RSL 12S subs. This system is MY preferred listening "experience". A small "full range" horn (a roll off at the lowest octave, and subs that match well with them). You need to find "your listening experience", not mine, nor anyone else's...., but yours. My best, MrD.
