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?

For ME and my system heavy components and speakers have become a no go.

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. 

Looking at your components have you considered PS Audio? I haven’t heard them but the entire lineup is getting great reviews.

lwin I recommended the PS Audio floorstanders to him...makes sense as he has PS Audio gear.

lhasaguy I agree about Maggies.   I loved my Mag Minis for years until my 250 WPC amp blew while watching an Aggie tournament basketball game.  I was using it with a Velodyne sub.  Sold the Maggies, but they were so beautiful with acoustic music and vocals such as with Eva Cassidy or several of my Louis Armstrong / Ella Fitzgerald albums, etc.  I don't knowif his amplifier has the current needed but it might.  I miss the Maggies but I actually sold them for more than what I paid for them.   I also had the Magnepan bass panel.
