Most "Accurate/Realistic" Sounding Speakers?


I am a major audio enthusiast and I was listening to some live, non amplified acoustic jazz and I could not help but wonder what speaker sounds that "live"? To me, the most "accurate/realistic" speakers would accurately reproduce acoustic music as if it were playing right in front of you, and also human voices as if they were talking directly to you. I guess that is my gauge by which speakers and audio systems should be judged. I know there are a ton of "accurate" reproductions, but I have never heard anything even close to the realism, super deep bass by the acoustic bass, and slam of the snare and cymbals. Have you heard any speaker truly close to this? As an over analytical audio nerd, instead of truly enjoying this great music, I could not help but think about the system that would come even close to that realism, deep bass, and gritty fast sound. I guess the closest I have heard has been Wilson Audios, but even those were not truly accurate reproductions. I have also heard that Quad planars and ATC powered speakers do a pretty amazing job.

Please opine!

Get a listen to Vandersteen 7 Mk IIs and then work backwards in that designers work to your comfort zone.

Actually kosst and soundsreal, binaural recordings are an attempt to do exactly that. Many of them sound amazing on headphones, the only correct way to listen to them.

In continuation of my respons above a more general observation, one that may "only" be an aspect of realism in sonic reproduction (albeit a very important one), namely the frequency spectrum from some 100-400Hz - or the upper bass/lower midrange. As such this would serve to highlight no individual speaker principle or brand/model in particular (although one could rightly point to specific items, as is the case with linked review below), but rather stress the relevance of named aspects’ implementation in loudspeakers more widely. Reading a review today by Robert E. Greene over at The Absolute Sound of the Stirling Broadcast LS3/6 speakers, I noticed his elaboration on this important issue in the comments section:

...
The truth is, that as I discussed in my "guest editorial" in TAS some months ago, many audiophiles have come to perceive the hole in the warmth region that occurs all too often with floorstanding speakers as being accurate and lively and "realistic". But of course it is not. Does anyone really believe that a big dip somewhere between 100 Hz and 400 Hz and a big midrange projection above is really the way things ought to be?
Properly set up the BBC speakers avoid this --but this does not mean they are coloured by warmth,. It means that they are correct, This has nothing to do with personal taste(though I do in fact like warm concert halls for instance). It has to do with being correct. Inducing a hole in the lower mids and a projection above does not let you hear what is on recordings and it is wrong. Saying it is modern and that the alternative is "lazy" and "old school" is to use semantically loaded phrases to misrepresent reality. There is truth involved here. One just neeeds to figure out what it is.

I'm sure some will find above quote controversial in seeing Mr. Greene speak of "correctness" (repeatedly, I might add) in sonic reproduction, but I fully agree with him; it does make sense to speak of reproduced sound that borders more closely that of live instrumentation and voices, and that doing so doesn't necessarily cost a fortune. We're up against an industry that seeks to keep the financial wheels turning (through branding, not least) more than any endeavor to seek out authentic sound, and introducing "subjectivity" into this mix makes it all the more easy to cater to these mechanisms. 

I would add the importance of physicality/air displacement area and speed in the upper bass/lower mids as well to more significantly approach sonic realism, something I find a variety of larger horn speakers in particular to be capable of.
