Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre?

Who is Rich Timbre?

ProAcs are getting a few mentions. I've only heard the Future One's many years ago but they did sound good to me on the end of some Marantz gear. It was at a London show and Ken Ishiwata was there.  

The Future One's were slightly pyramid shaped floorstanders with an open back behind the midrange unit! 

Some of the people with me thought they sounded fabulous, the best in show. I was in such a hurry to hear everything else that I didn't stay too long to listen to this strange looking expensive speaker from this unknown brand!!

There are several things about the Magnepan x.7 series that supersede all the dogma about previous maggies--grainy, lack of low level detail, hard to drive, etc

That describes just a few of the reasons I unloaded my 1.7is, however, I'll admit they're one of the best at their price point.

Hello everyone! First post here.
 It is very important that a speaker not add its own timbre to the recording we happen to be listening to.  All too often we run into romantic sounding systems where all recordings seem to have a common denominator or character - the timbre of the speaker itself. In high end, it costs a lot of money to suppress a speaker's timbre (is it ever eliminated?). IMO it is far cheaper to design a timbre that is people pleasing than to neutralize added timbre. Some designs subtract or mask recorded timbre, and some sources benefit from adding harmonics somewhere in the stereo system chain, but here the OP is focusing on speakers.  I agree with the OP's initial assumption that loudspeakers, on a weighted scale, have more to do with system sound than electronics, sources, and wires.
