Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre?

I realise that the music industry seems to care less and less about timbre, see

But for me, without timbre music reproduction can be compared to food which lacks flavour or a modern movie with washed out colours. Occasionally interesting, but rarely engaging.

So my question is, what are your loudspeaker candidates if you are looking for a 'Technicolor' sound?

I know many use tube amps solely for this aim, but perhaps they are a subject deserving an entirely separate discussion.

Klipschorns, with updated crossovers and other tweaks, such as horn damping and additional cabinet bracing ( and of course, 2 excellent and similar corners ), are very hard to beat, and, especially at the prices they are going for. The simple fact they have been selling longer than anything else, does say something. Admittedly, I am partial, and feel justified having my own opinion on the subject. ( BTW, I own modified Lascalas, as they are not slouches in any area ). Enjoy ! MrD.
