I know the feeling. I had the opposite experience of what everyone said I should have with a bright sound. I have Wilson Sophia 1 that everyone, friend, dealers and Wilson say have a brighter presentation with the titanium inverted dome tweeter compared to their newer soft dome tweeters. I tried the Alexia 1, Sasha DAW and now have the Yvettes up for sale because all those were bright in my room. Maybe things would be 'normal' for you and the newer Wilsons would work. They are beautiful sounding speakers, in general, so if you haven't considered them I would. There are many different models to choose from used at your budget. Good luck!
