Most "Accurate/Realistic" Sounding Speakers?


I am a major audio enthusiast and I was listening to some live, non amplified acoustic jazz and I could not help but wonder what speaker sounds that "live"? To me, the most "accurate/realistic" speakers would accurately reproduce acoustic music as if it were playing right in front of you, and also human voices as if they were talking directly to you. I guess that is my gauge by which speakers and audio systems should be judged. I know there are a ton of "accurate" reproductions, but I have never heard anything even close to the realism, super deep bass by the acoustic bass, and slam of the snare and cymbals. Have you heard any speaker truly close to this? As an over analytical audio nerd, instead of truly enjoying this great music, I could not help but think about the system that would come even close to that realism, deep bass, and gritty fast sound. I guess the closest I have heard has been Wilson Audios, but even those were not truly accurate reproductions. I have also heard that Quad planars and ATC powered speakers do a pretty amazing job.

Please opine!

Wouldn't the most life-like reproduction start with the most life-like recording? Who attempts to record live music like a pair of human ears hear it?
If you like the "snap" or "slam" of the snare and cymbals, you may consider adding a dbx 3bx III or 3bx DS (or the holy grail - the 5BX) component to your system. While it may or may not add "color" it will likely provide the realism you're looking for by expanding the dynamics and increasing attack in the audio signal. I have noted that it adds a slight "warmth" in my system as well as the snap and slam you are looking for... and I like it. 
Get a listen to Vandersteen 7 Mk IIs and then work backwards in that designers work to your comfort zone.

Actually kosst and soundsreal, binaural recordings are an attempt to do exactly that. Many of them sound amazing on headphones, the only correct way to listen to them.
