high end standmounts that do not punish poor recordings?


recently arrived a the realization that the variety of music I listen to simply does not lend itself well to many  'audiophile' speakers

closest I had to my current goal were Dynaudio Special 40's

Next best was Heritage Specials and then Totem element Fire v2 (screeching tweeter on the Totem)

Harbeth 30.2xd's and Super5plus xds definitely did not work for my recordings 

shortlist at the moment is Franco Serblin Accordo, KEF Reference 1 meta, Dynaudio Condifence 20

simple system to  be paired with my REL Carbon special and Hegel H600 (really love both these pieces)

appreciate any recommendations

Saying for example that "science" or "politics" or any human activities be it audio experience or "zoology"  is "anything the individual wants it about" is not false...

It is completely utter non sense presented as an evident fact...

In a word you just said nothing meaningful just for the pleasure of contradicting me but with no argument of your own ...

"Acoustics rules audio experience" as i claim is a meaningful claim grounded in a deep truth  though...Happy listening...

 

@mahgister  Audio is about anything the individual audiophile wants it to be about.  "One man’s trash is another man’s treasure."  Happy listening.

 

I have Graham LS 5/8’s and they can play all sorts of styles. You lose a bit of the ‘souped up’ sound from a modern designed speaker, but it’s still no slouch at all. I have them paired with an Accuphase e-4000. 

@audiocanada Harbeth 30.2xd’s and Super5plus xds definitely did not work for my recordings 

Although we can name some “musical” speakers, it’s the entire audio chain that matters.  Pre-amp change can also bring sonic benefit

@audiocanada to better understand which direction to go we will need more specifics:

  1. Seems you want to give up some accuracy to the recordings to a more musical (forgiving) presentation, is that correct?
  2. what are the components of your audio chain including cabling?
  3. what specific songs do you find deficient using your Harbeths?  What specifically didn’t you like and what can be improved (which sonic direction do you want to go)?
  4. what’s your budget?
  5. are you open to tube components?
