Hesson11, although I firmly believe your problem is largely in electronics or sources, I would strongly recommend the Reference 3A Grand Veenas. They are quite accurate in the top end thanks to the Murata supertweeters. If they sound shrill, it is something upstream that is the problem.
Classical speakers that do violins well??
All my serious listening is classical.
I hate nothing more than steely shrillness on violins or a glare on a soprano's voice.
I love nothing more than the faithful reproduction of the tone colors of unamplified instruments (the wood body of the violin and cello, the felt pad excting the sinewy strings of a piano).
YET, I hate bloated, indistinct, overly warm, billowy lower mids and upper bass (what I gather some think of as "musical").
Do you have any experience with speakers that might meet these needs for $2K, give or take (new or used)? Can be either floorstander or monitor, but with at least enough bass to perform decently on orchestral music. THANKS.
