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?

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.
