Need help on an all rounder speaker under $5000

Hello dear audiogoners

I am newbie here and also to the world of high end audio.
I dont know whether 5000 is high end in the audio world but whatever.

I am not an audiophile and i am not looking for details and clarity in music. I want a system that is versatile, that can play everything form brilliant CD recordings to Compressed MP3 formats. All genres from rock to classical to electronic.

My collection is a mix of MP3, High quality audio, some CDs and also live recordings.
So i really needed something warm and colorful that can shine with everything. Something that is just a happy speaker!!
Most of all something that is enjoyable.
I request you all to give me some suggestions. I live in India so brand availability is a question but i get most of the brands here and can audition many of them of just shoot. Also if you can mention associated equipment.

You would be hard pressed to find anything better than the pair of Green Mountain Audio C3s that are for sale here on Agon. They can play any type of music and play it well. Not only will you get the details in the music, but you will get the musicians in the room with you. An audiophile cliche' for sure, but true nonetheless.

These are highly engaging speakers that got me off the merry go round, and will keep you from ever getting on it.

Not affilited with the seller in any way.

Seconding Glenner on the Gallo 3.5s, which can be had at your price point.

Second the PSB Synchrony One recommendation. It is more open than the Stratus Gold, my previous favority. Sounds somewhat similar to a B&W 802 but much cheaper.
