speakers that are a little laid back in the mids

I'm just curious what full range speaker people have found where the mids, voices etc are not so up front. I have had my share of speakers and some I considered to be very good but over time seem to be on top of you. Not necessarily harsh however. My room is 13 x 16 and I have used tubes and ss.

The new SVS Ultra Evolution speakers are VERY laid back. When I heard them, they were way too dead for my taste, but maybe to others...

Yes, I have! I heard them at THE Show in Costa Mesa a couple months ago. When I noted how dead/dull they sounded, even the rep said that SVS strong point is their subs. Maybe they would be acceptable if one were right in the sweet spot and liked the laid back sound..., I wasn’t, and don't.  The graphic does not lie.

As for "Over the moon" they only made "Class B" in the ratings.

I actually had them play this track on them!
