Speakers which always sound good


This is brought up because I'm home shopping, but I'm not actually looking for speakers right now, so please don't take this as a request for advice so much as opinions.

As I shop for homes I've realized how few are really equipped for the audiophile.  Too many fireplaces and windows and damn kitchens and bathrooms placed completely inappropriately for us! :-)

And as you may know, I'm a big fan of appropriate room treatments.

So, wanted to step away from this world for a bit and ask, what are speaker brands that you feel always work?  Or at least, work really well without having to think about the room acoustics or placements?  Reminder that this is 99% of the buying public.  We who have laser line levelers, a closet full of measurement microphones and a chair which bolts our head into a fixed location may not believe it is true, but this is the majority of the buying public. 

What do we, the audiophile community recommend to them to actually be helpful in getting them as many positive music listening experiences as possible?

Best,

Erik

@rixthetrick I thought so too until I found out I had to pay over $75,000 in PERMITS.

Houses are a bit more expensive than you might think to build today, and we do it all ourselves except the beginning basics--plumbing, slab, walls, trusses (no basements down here). We take care of the rest--runs about $65.00/sq ft for us to put up the shell. After that, what do you want inside and for roof material (tile or metal down here).

The permits scared me off. I could put the permit money into fixing an existing house and come out better, but whatever you want, I guess.

(Not to be a stickler in these days of tweets and texts, but "THAT" sound better, please.)
Cheers!
@tomavodka  You ARE kidding, right?  I would guess a 2" speaker in a 1955 Japanese transistor radio would sound more like music.

Good joke, though...
In listening with others situations I’ve heard Klipsch La Scalas that had a wonderful speak easy background music sound. 
Open baffles can take much of the room out of it other than needing a front wall to develop a wave. 
Tomavodka, bulls eye! Bose 901's, Musak in its highest form. After the Bose there are a host of excellent computer speakers. Headphones? They make my ears sweat. Actually, good ones make a great reference.
I seems most people are stuck on good old dynamic speakers. What about horns, planars or ESLs?
In order of increasing expense; Klipsch Cornwalls, Magnepan 3.7i, Sound Labs 545, Sound Labs 845
