$1500 bookshelf speakers with laid-back highs?

Hi all,

I currently have the Monitor Audio Gold GR series 5.1 system. I like a lot about it, but to me, the highs are a touch too bright. I am looking for something a little smoother, even if it means the highs are rolled off.

If anyone is familiar with the Sennheiser HD650 headphones, that is the sound I am looking for.

Thanks
Greg

Spendor SP3/1 speakers. Retail is a bit more, but probably could get a "demo" for around this price.

Thanks Tlh28, I will look into those.

Hiend2. My room is about 18X20. I cross over my speakers to a sub. For music, I typically listen at around 75dBs. These are for home theater as well. In a properly calibrated system, I usually listen at 20 - 25 dB below reference.

Thanks
Greg

Spendors really are so musical and a bit laid back. They are also driven well by most quality electronics and present no strange loads.
