Cannot find perfect sound

I've been listening to supposedly some of the finest speakers that currently exist. These include b&w 800 Series, revel high end, vivid audio, Psi audio and kef blades.

None except the kef blades satisfied my high level standards.

When I play my reference tracks on cheap earbuds I hear timing accuracy that is missing on all the above speakers. Only the kef blades came closest to what I hear from cheap earbuds. 

Explanations please?

I really suspect that none of these high end speakers are accurately reproducing the sound on my CDs despite all the marketing claims about accuracy and high quality sound.

What could there possibly be that my cheap earbuds can do that eludes these super high end speakers?  

I'm not so eager anymore to spend any money until I have a good explanation.

You know that there is a wide spectrum of people that enjoy audio.  I know people that dance when they hear a song on a supermarket speaker and others that sit still and take in all the qualities of the same recording alone in a chair in a perfect triangle to the speakers with $100,000 worth of cables and little bowls carefully placed all around the room.  
No one is better than the other if you feel the music in your soul.  Different sure, educational, maybe, waste of time, probably.  To each his own.
