What is best is not necessarily the same for one person as another. Furthermore, there are variables involved in answering the question.
What are you going to listen to?
How much money are you intending to spend?
What kind of sound are you hoping for?
What is the room or space where you'll be listening like? Is it small or large? Does it have carpets and other soft furnishings or is it some other type of room or space?
I think you need to know the answer to some of these questions before you can say "What is best".

Hard to tell if this is a metaphysical 'what is hifi?' or a request for help. Perhaps the originating poster could use Google translate or somesuch?

 

[JDL]

Ah ha. Metaphysics. Now we're into a different discipline. Best go and read up on some philosophy.

Harbeth, I believe Alan Shaw tunes his speakers to his granddaughters voice, this of course could just be marketing.

Difficult with a huge amount of classical work: symphonies, ensembles, concertos etc,

Having demoed Harbeth P3s, they are very good with vocals. Bear in mind any speaker can translate vocal realism, depending on amplification.

It's what we're evolved to listen for, I watched/listened to "Springsteen on Broadway" earlier. I think its really well recorded his speaking voice and playing guitar. Of course it get over self indulgent but the first 20 mins are okay

What?? His Granddaughter's voice?
That's gonna be great for Bass, Drums, a full Orchestra etc. I'm afraid that one's lost on me.
That's not say I wouldn't like a set of Harbeths. Or that I know anything at all about tuning speakers.🤔

Not so strange as it seems John.
As humans, we're especially tuned to every aspect of voice quality.
If a speaker can't reproduce voices accurately, then it's off to a bad start when it comes to any other sounds.

No good using his own voice, because he doesn't know the true sound - using the voice of someone you know well -is probably as good a test as you can give a speaker when it comes to accuracy👍

Ah ha, thanks for that. Do they use other tones and sounds when tuning speakers in addition to human voices. Like a range of different kinds of sounds I wonder.

They ought to.
After all, much of today's 'music' is nothing more than just tones 🤪

I believe that the sound of a piano is a good test as it is difficult to reproduce the tone of the piano and it is an instrument with a wider frequency range than most instruments.

How much money are you intending to spend?

It's a stupid question that salespeople ask when they want to take as much money from a customer as possible. You need to choose audio components according to the principle of "necessary and sufficient" for a particular room and the specific wishes of the user

I heard this decades ago that a piano is a good way to test realism. @matthewpianist would know more about this as he's a good keyboard player.

I listen to a lot of different Piano Concertos. I've noticed that pianos seem to really show the accuracy and musicality of speakers.

I would tend to agree in that any speaker that cannot do justice to any human voice and make a stab at accurate rendition of a piano piece isn't going to be able to do justice to anything else....

You beat me to it.
My reference when comparing speakers is anything that features a grand piano ....

Oh excellent, I'm glad I'm not talking nonsense then, because I'm pretty sure that you're a guy who knows what he's talking about.👍🏻

Absolutely. They aren’t too hard to encounter in real life, they have lots of overtones, huge dynamic range, a wide frequency range, and sundry associated noises from fingers on keys, pedals, and often the stage. And of course need no amplifiers to be played, so we have an unamplified reference point.

 

[nopiano]

I think there’s substance to the idea that the best speakers for voices are ones not too different in size from the human head. For a similar reason, the same speakers are likely to be good with similar sized instruments: violin, clarinet, etc.

I‘m sure this is a significant factor in the enduring appeal of the LS3/5a school of ‘mini monitors’ over the decades since they appeared in 1976.
