Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k?


Better high end speakers are typically so high in resolution that, while they sound superb with great and maybe even good recordings, they sound mediocre to plain bad with average recordings. Given that many people have average recordings that they enjoy, and would wish to be able to listen to most if not all of their music library, what speakers in the roughly $10k-20k realm (new price) would provide an extraordinary listening experience across the spectrum (average to good recordings especially)? Does such an animal exist?

I'm surprised Zu Definition Mk 4 ($12500) hasn't been noted yet. I have the Mk2, and have not yet heard the Mk4, but this was the speaker that got me off the audio merry-go-round several years ago.

With other systems/speakers I TRIED to listen to ALL the music I love, but mostly would gravitate to only the music that sounded good (best recordings). With the Zu's that tendency has been dramatically lessened. Good recordings sound great. Bad recordings are clearly not as good, but I don't end up focusing on the recording, just tapping my foot. This is a HUGE difference, IMO.

For reference, previous speakers: Ridgestreet Audio Sason's, Magnepan MG3.6R, Avalon Eclipse, Kharma Ceramique 1.0, Martin Logan ReQuest, Mirage M3Si. Variety of amps and sources used with above, both SS, tube and OTL, where appropriate for the speaker load.
Look into speakers by Sonus Faber (Cremona M), Vandersteen 5 or 5A or Quatro Wood, Silverline (as Newbee offered),many of the British made speakers are "kinder and gentler". Also, you can get some of what youre after by careful component choice-my TW AKustic Raven One turntable tends to soften the music very slightly to the forgiving side and thats what I like. Stay away from cables and interconnects like Nordost which tend to make things a little hard or steely (less forgiving). A forgiving cartridge like the Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood can get you there too. I realize some prefer to have their system speak only the unvarnished truth and thats just fine.
I second the silver line Bolero speaker. Simply perfect for you based on your comments. I owned them for some 2 years and loved them.

I would also suggest Nola Viper Reference speakers.
I recommend these a lot, but it's because they fit the bill yet again. The Legacy Focus 20/20's. They make bad recordings sound awesome(they are a warm relaxed speaker, yet deliver dynamics to be exciting)and make great recordings sound amazing. I've had them in 3 rooms. 1 large, 1 medium, 1 pretty small. They sounded great in each one. If you can listen to some Focus, I would bet you would enjoy them. The new models are around 7k

Also the 20/20's were amazing with any types of music (jazz, rock, classical, rap, etc)
