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! |
Yep, a little late. Don’t resort to artifice like equalizers, filters or über damping your room. Sell your speakers and consider ESL’s. I suggest the ’Final Audio 15’s. They are really extremely neutral. You get unforgivably out of these what you put into them. Look here for more: https://final-audio.com/products/model-15/ I’m sure you won’t regret getting aquainted with these great speakers. Good luck and success in finding! |
@mylogic you would certainly be thinking outside the boxes if you attempted to turn a set of 800 series B&Ws upside down, seeing as there is no flat surface on the head unit of the speaker.

Outside the boxes thinking? Could try laying them flat on ironing boards…don’t worry, l am only being ironic.
My original inverted (flipped 180 degrees) suggestion was offered more for a solution to any other members on here if their speaker designs were suitable. I did this myself with even rather large Celestion 25’s back in the 70s. It was also very successful with Mission 770’s because the Seas tweeters in these 1980s speakers were very bright. I must add the 770’s bass was so good for a mid sized speaker that you would not have needed a sub even if they were available back then. No harm in experimenting this concept as the results although subtle can make a difference. Studio monitors perform just as well upright, upside down or sideways. This also negates any magnetic differences between the northern, southern hemispheres (or sideways for those living near the equator …..joke intended.
