In search for speakers of "natural" sound

Hello,
I am using a pair of Harbeth speakers. However, I am not satisfied with the 'naturalness' of the sound (it could be that I am so demanding). I am looking for a pair of speakers that can produce the more natural and organic sound than Harbeth if there is any.

I know that it depends on the amp, cables, and other variables. However, let's assume that with the appropriate gears, which speakers do you think can produce the "most natural sound"? By "natural", I mean the sound that we hear directly from musical instruments, from the singer without going through any amplification.

There is a user mentioning that speakers from the past used that 'natural sound' as a reference when designed speakers. In contrast, the sound today (even the hi-end one) is to "hi-fi". He guessed it could be less people have chance to listen to live / acoustic music than before.  

Is it right?

Thank you for your experience and recommendation!
Best,
Huy.

P.S: I know that my questions are silly and dumb, please bear with me.

Also you could listen to Spendor, be it the Classic line or the new D line. Less pretty than the Harbeth, they are also less expensive.
many on the forum say they sound better... at least fr your quest, they  deserve a listen.

from Avalon,Genesis,Proac 
etc.
i recently saw and read some comments on this website about a 
speaker by the name of Usher Mini
Dancer ll with Diamond tweeters 
i read a lot of great reviews and decided to buy a pair and to my surprise probably the best pair I have owned so far.
very natural and life like.
Give it a try.

Consider KEF Blade II loudspeakers with VAC amplification (at any price level).......remarkably natural sound and soundstage! .....near totally removed from the loudspeakers. Some great suggestions above as well. If you prefer a solid state amplifier, Clayton Audio matched with a VAC mk5 Preamplifier is a very close second with the Blade II.  Enjoy!

Tough question to answer when you omit the primary style of music you listen to, info on your romm size and treatments if any and your other components and of course your budget. All of this info is required to be able to properly recommend a pair of speakers, As mentioned above your present speakers are from a highly respected company known for producing a natural sound. For this reason I suspect your room and / or other components are in need of examination prior to the speakers. This is assuming you are looking to improve your systems sound. If you are just exploring other peoples idea of what they think a natural sounding speaker is in a general context then this info isn't required.
