2k$ speakers that meet my criteria?

I have been doing a lot of research and thought I might as well see if I can get some direct answers.

I am looking for a speaker with some sweetness (a little) and texture and is very involving in the sound signature. As in musical - not analytical or neutral/dry. Also timbre accurate bass. Without the "one note" bass.

I also put I high value on a large 3d soundstage (it is more involving to me). As well as dynamics.
Placement should not be a HUGE concern. (I want to be able to get comfortable and not loose the sweet spot if I move a few inches)

Bonus points go to those who would match other components to it that would help achieve the sound I am looking for.

I want something that can convey the emotional content and musical/harmonic content of the music.

Thank you all,
Sam

Let's see, this seems like a SAT question:

very musical, not analytical or dry, timbre accurate bass, dynamics, large 3d soundstage, not fussy about placement, $2K.

Which one of the above items does not belong with the rest?

given what I have heard I wonder about maggie 1.7s or maybe the next model up?

I'm really happy with my ERA D14's but it depends what those descriptors listed above mean to you.

Also given your placement thoughts something with a transmission line or front ported would be a benefit?

I'd say Vandersteen, but you're going to have to work on placement to get the best 3D presentation as I suspect you would with most speakers. As Maineiac implies, you might have to be flexible on at least one attribute to get everything you're looking for sonically. Best of luck.
