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.

Interesting - The Skullcandy does not come close to the clarity, deepness and crispness of my DYS Speakers I made myself.  It is not the electronics or the speakers that are at fault it is your ears.  You have apparently a very good ability to pick out details in music and you have your favorite things you like best to be brought out.  Personally I have felt the kick of bass hit my chest and think wow!  Ear buds cannot do that!  You should audition many systems before buying again so you can get as close to what you call perfection.  Perfection may not exist.  At some point you may have to settle for "good enough for me."   What you think is perfect the next guy might think it sounds terrible.  I have a relative and everything sounds like a transistor radio.  His ears really cannot tell. So he will not be spending thousands on a great world renown stereo but will probably buy a nice fishing boat.  what ever floats your boat.  :)

What do you mean by timing Accuracy? If you heard something wrong with driver intergration or timbre with Revel something was very wrong, they are some of the best in the world regardless of cost in this regard.  BW on the other hand does boost and tailor their house sound.
