Experienced audiophiles best speaker

I mostly listen to small group acoustic jazz (vinyl source) and heavy metal (digital source). I have two setups. For jazz its all tubes, 300B SET to full range high efficiency coaxial paper drivers. Great for jazz, but no way for rock/metal.

For metal its tube-hybrid monoblocks to full-range three-way floorstanders with ceramic and diamond drivers. Fantastic for metal, but somewhat uninvolving for jazz.

These speakers have such different flaws and virtues. How to compare?

I haven't heard the harbeths sounding dry. No way. Something must be amiss in the chain.

The new improved bose 901 series 6 version 2's are the best that I have ever heard and I've heard a lot speakers over the years...
