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?

If you have a $20k budget for just speakers, I would be looking used. There is a huge selection well under that price point that would be amazing. I’d be considering Sonus Faber floor standers. They just sound and look beautiful (if looks are important). Else there are KEF blades, Lower end Mágicos. If you want a panel, I would suggest Martin Logan electrostatic speakers.  I own and love a pair of Montis. But you probably could get even newer models for under 20k easy. 
 

you have many options. Best if there was a dealer near you that would loan you some to demo in your own space.

@onehorsepony 3.7 is one of Thiel's best if not the best speaker created.  Thiel owners would not be happy with those kind of words. B&W Nautilus or Diamond are musical with tight bass.  Not sure what speaker you need along with yiour equipment.
