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

A little higher than you are looking to spend, but consider the Wilson Audio Sasha DAW.  Good prices on the used market and a truly excellent and versatile speaker.  I have the Sabrina X’s, which are fantastic for my small 11.5x11.5x11 music room.  If my room was bigger, I would definitely have gone for the Sasha DAW.

I recently switched to a PureAudioProject Trio.  Still have Thiels and Ohm Walsh 5s, but the open baffle deployment of the PAP Trio does so much so well.  You do need to keep them a few feet out from the wall though.

Nothing holds its value better than B&W. I had several pairs over the last 50 years but eventually ended up with Kharma. I bought the Kharma Grand Ceramique and have kept them for the last 15 years. Wonderful full range speakers. They were the top of the line. There happens to be a pair recently listed. I only remember one pair for sale before. Highly recommended.

There are so many new speakers out there.Just find something you like. Polk if you don't have alot of money to spend.You can buy used ,close outs,and save alot...good luck,my man.

If you are anywhere near North Carolina, I would highly recommend dropping over to audition the Fyne F704, great speakers that would be perfect for your room and are both gorgeous to look at and listen to. Rarely come up for sale.
