Looking for my Final Pair!!

Been through the high end maelstrom for over 30 years and although I have enjoyed the ride, I desperately want to find speakers that exude dynamics, tone and presence.  I want to be transported to the Village Vanguard where The John Coltrane Quartet are performing any night I desire.  I want to feel the timbre of his sax 🎷. When I close my eyes I want to be enveloped by the atmosphere of the space and awash with the impact and emotion being expressed by the musicians.  I don’t want to hear what the engineers hear after they mix a recording...I want to be in the studio when the tracks are being laid down!  So far, Tannoy Heritage Arden have come to my attention, Klipsch Cornwall IV’s, JBL S4700’s or perhaps Spatial Audio X3’s?  Help

rauliruegas,
All that is proven by all of your measurement hocus pocus is that in many cases, like this one, measurements that YOU consider to be important are in practice NOT important. It looks like you’re measuring the wrong things in this case.
I looked at your posted system, and I'm certain that the measurements of those speakers are far from being without fault, but that's ok, because you like the way they sound, right? And THAT is the whole point. Period.

I already chose that pair over 35 years ago...36 C’s and they still perform well!

@dave_b,

’’Did I mention my system needs to kick arse...like “When the Levee Breaks” at 110db kinda arse!’’

This, is what you want/need. Little two way monitors. lol http://www.thevintageknob.org/jbl-4435.html...

Also, the JBL 4435 monitor adds a second woofer below 100 Hz to address the IMD and THD that @rauliruegas is talking about. And so does the JBL Everest II. See the JBL tech manual in the link below. btw, Also, see, in the last page of the manual that sensitivity and efficiency is two different specifications.

I think you will like your new Cornwall IV’s speakers. No speakers are without fault. Mike

My favorite speakers of all time...still gathering dust in my original home, with a shot midrange driver, were the Bozak B313b’s.  Absolutely musical and dynamic!  Just a box with great drivers and crossover.  Small tin screws for speaker connections.
