Spkrplus,
I ended-up with Hyperions HPS-938 (6 month dealer demo for $3K). Amazing speakers from less than amazing company (if they still exist). Combination of revealing Benchmark DAC1 with Rowland 102 driving Paradigm Studio/60 (metal dome tweeters) was unbearable. Replacing/integrating tweeters with Morel Spreme 110 (soft dome) failed - wasted time and money. Hyperions are warm, revealing and never forward - perfect fit.
