B&W speakers with the diamond tweeter are very bright to my ears. The solution is to use a warm preamp and amp combo. A number of years ago I heard one of the larger pair at Best Buy Magnolia with a Rotel preamp and amp that sounded very good. The very reasonably priced Rotel components actually sounded better than the pairing with high priced Mac tube monoblocks. B&W and Rotel are closely aligned companies, and B&W has been known to voice their speakers with Rotel components. If there is a store near you I would call them and see if they have the pairing for a demo. Costs you nothing to hear for yourself.
