I have the Salk SS6M. These are stand mounts but with the same tweeter. I compared them with other speakers which are known for some brightness -- the Focal 936. I also compared them with Fritz's Carreras, which has the same tweeter. My experience was that the Focals were too bright, and the Salk and Fritz were both fine -- warm enough. A couple of changes adjusted the highs in the Salks: some changes to positioning and also a change of tubes in my tube amp (to GL KT 77's).
Ultimately, I chose the Salks because there was a happy marriage of accuracy without roll-off in that tweeter. Initially, I asked Jim if other customers reported a brightness to them; he said no, but sent me some resistors in case I wanted to adjust them down the road. I don't feel the need at this point. I would rather tweak the room with a little absorption then choose a speaker incapable of accuracy.
