I listen to most of the same music, well not metal or punk, but Jazz, seventies soul, 80s stuff-China Crisis & etc, Bowie, Miles Davis & John Coltrane, Bill Evans etc and the female voice, spoken voice via FM radio 4 & 2 & occasionally radio 3, DAB+ Jazz FM, Flac streamed.
I've owned a lot of small bookshelf speakers, Spendor S3/5r2 (brilliant) Harbeth P3 ESR, Elac BS312, Stirling Broadcast Ls3/5A v2 and frankly I could live with any of those but if I had to pick then it would be the SB v2s followed by the Spendor but as said above you have to listen to them with decent amplification otherwise you don't hear them properly, if I hadn't auditioned the SB v2s at the seller's place with his amps and source then I wouldn't have bought them cause in my house with my amp they just sound okay.
I've also owned a few amps, had a Rega Brio and sold it, Croft basic dual volume pot thing hated it and sold it, Sugden A21a and A21P which is a brilliant amp and really underrated and a few others and seriously the Yamaha PA P230 is something else I just need to maybe buy a decent pre-amp to go with it but for the moment I'm using the volume control in Volumio via my Macbook Pro or my iPhone XR.
BTW, there was a pair of the SB v2s on the Wam recently for £850 don't know if they sold though.
PS, the Yamaha PA amp is brutally ugly
