Which speakers to be ''in'' the music?

I don't own these, but I'd have to think Magnepans or similar type speakers

Your Engrish is wonderful Mo.

 Some speakers sound this way and other speakers sound that way. But Sonus Faber speakers just sound like music. I would suggest you try and demo a pair. Sonus faber speakers, at lest my Elipsa SE are one of the few speakers that I feel can properly reproduce the sound of a piano properly. 

 I would suggest buying used to get the most speaker for your money. If you see something that catches your eye, ask to hear it. You can search Audiogon by location to try and find a pair that is not that far away from where you live.

@maurice89 - what appears to be a simple request, evolves into something quite complex with an even more complex answer

Even the best speaker in the world will not perform well without very good speaker cables

So I would include those in your budget as well.

Then you will be able to hear exactly how that speaker performs

That is, provided the demands the speaker places on the amp is well matched to the amp you have selected. Different speakers can put very different demands on the amplifier and the amp has to be able to cope with those demands.
- BTW, to handle those demands effortlessly the amp requires a very good power cable, mainly to allow it to handle transient peaks with ease.

Once you have all that sorted out you then have to get the very best signal to the amp - this is where the interconnects come into play - poor interconnects poor sound.

So as you can see, it gets complicated - fast!

I know my own system has never sounded so engaging since I spent the bulk of the last 4 years looking into cables and the impacts they have on system performance.
.
My starting place would be with cables.

But since you asked about speakers - I am currently using Gershman Acoustics Sonogram (from Canada), The Sonograms are probably the most boring floor standing speaker to look at, but they hide their best design features inside their rectangular box.

What’s so special about these speakers?
- the internal cabinet design minimizes standing waves
- the large rear port minimizes bass reflections
- the 2" dome midrange is largely responsible for the impressive image they convey
- they are the most invisible speakers I have ever heard in any price range.

Eli Gershman’s latest speaker lineup is a little more exciting to look at than the Sonogram and I would have to believe, improves on the Sonograms stellar performance.

Sonograms can be purchased used for a very reasonable price, but GA’s current models I believe start around $6000 canadian.

I’ve had the Sonograms for almost 10 years and in that time I have only heard one set of speakers that sounded significantly better - they cost $35,000 canadian.

Take a look at the Gershman Acoustics line-up - I was very glad I did :-)

Your musical tastes are not too different from my own, so I think you would be very happy with a pair of Gershman Acoustics, regardless of model

If you mean that you can walk around the room and are still in the "sweet spot", then you might enjoy:

Omni/polydirectional speakers or maybe
Speakers with wide dispersion

Several have home trial though most you’ll have trouble auditioning. From the list I’ve only heard the ohms and the smaller floor stand LSA. The list was put together from research I’ve done for myself, mostly on here.


Omnidirectionals or close:
--ohm
--decware?
--Shahnian
--Larsen has a model

Wide dispersion
--Dali
--LSA speakers (you might to talk Walter underwood hifi.  He's very helpful).
--Revel
--Tannoy
