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.

whoever flags my comment and has them removed - and it's not hard to guess who - is a sad excuse for a human. No wonder your parents never loved you. It proved impossible. 

Call Peter at PBN he builds speakers and electronics easy to talk too no hard sell

NO relationship we shared first name.

I listed my Yamaha ns5000’s because my wife says they don’t work in the living room decor. They acquit themselves well enough for me to contemplate keeping them and selling the Blades instead. Currently playing The Verve, urban hymns and can’t help but be captivated by the playback

@steve59 A shame that you have to let them go.

For any interested buyers. This is a great speaker and my end game speaker which I also own.
