The same speakers i have currently.
I don't believe there exists any one speaker that does it all, even price no object.
In my case if money were no object, i'd have a very large speaker collection as i think that's the only way to have speakers that "do it all"

I took a headstart...
I also believe that ther is no speaker that does it all, so:
JM labs grande utopia Be
the pair of apogee grands would make a very big chance too, but finding them would be the problem, since only 25 pairs were made...
or a genesis (a very big one)
a Wilson alexandria
and all the advents I can find...
Keep them spinning,
Bert.

I would build a custom listening room and buy a pair of Jubilees

I'd be all over these Arnie Nudell designed Genesis 1.1's if I had $165k to play with :yes:

Each of the midrange/tweeter panels is 42" wide and houses a 75" tall ribbon midrange with twenty ribbon tweeters on the front and six in the rear to form a near perfect dipolar line source array. Each baffle is machined out of a solid piece of one inch thick black Corian.
The tweeter is our own proprietary 1" ribbon built from an incredibly thin membrane of Kapton and aluminum (.0005" thick). Behind the flat diaphragm of the tweeter is the motor, a precision machined and focused magnetic structure.
The midrange module is a single 75" dipolar ribbon driver. A push /pull dipole configuration was chosen to eliminate the distortion inherent in many single ended ribbon designs. The diaphragm of this driver is made of a 0.001" thick Mylar film laminated with a thin aluminum strip, which acts as the voice coil of the driver. The entire device is suspended in a powerful magnetic field created by over 30 feet of Ceramic 8 magnets.
At 7.5' tall and 18" wide, the two bass towers each house six servo-controlled twelve inch metal cone woofers individually driven by a pair of six channel servo amplifiers connected to the woofers via custom 3,000 watt hand-crafted servo-bass cables. The fully discrete servo amplifiers are remote controlled. Functions include volume, low pass, high pass, phase and power. Inside each, there are three toroidal transformers that deliver the power, which is adjustable to any line voltage a customer might desire.
The crossover module for each of the midrange/tweeter panels is housed in a separate Corian enclosure with a tuned suspension system to isolate it acoustically. Inside the crossover, Genesis has incorporated the world's first multiple tap copper foil inductor for the midrange and our own proprietary polypropylene film and foil capacitors for the tweeter array.
The complete Genesis 1.1 system consisting of the six separate elements weighs over 1 l/4 tons and is shipped in six wooden crates.

I would probably be happy with a set of Klipschorns.
Although, It would be neat to find a pair of those polk speakers that were out somtime around 1990. I dont remember the model, but I remember they were about 6ft tall and 2-1/2ft wide. Not very efficient, but looked and sounded good (at the time when everything audio was painted black)
