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

Legacy Audio Focus XD (Active speaker) with Auralic Altier G1. I recently auditioned in Los Angeles and they changed me as a person. I will never be the same again until I get a pair. Nothing in your list come close for the real live emotional and full dynamic range experience then these do

rbrannen,
I am sure that if Raul researches the Focus XD, he will be able to explain to you how in fact, they are hopelessly colored and flawed.

Just listen to the new Wilson Sophia x if you can afford $20 k 
you will never look back the best sounding speaker under $25 k I have heard to date these sound more musical then the Shasha I heard 3 years ago ,loads of trickle down technologies,

Dear @dave_b  : What I wanted to say is that you own subwoofesr so you can test the CW with a crossover at almost the same frequency than the subs: around 80hz-100hz ( both: sub and CW ) and through this test you can now what I'm talking about. With out doubt you will be very nice surprised and with rewards over the items you are buying as amplifier or supertweeters and if you don't liked it you always can come back to the original status, you can lost nothing and can learn about.

After your test you can decide if you still need the other audio items.
