Standmount speaker suggestion


HI

I have B&W 705 s3 Signature speakers paired with a Pass Labs INT-60. While imaging and soundstage are great, I find the speakers a bit bright. What should I try next, and what would be worthy of being mated to the Pass integrated? I will buy used but keeping in line with the value of the amp, the budget is around $5000- $8000 new.

 

I realize speakers are very subjective. Just want some direction to go. 

Appreciate it.

Having just bought new speakers (Audel) I had a shortlist.  I wouldn't recommend the new replacement speaker that I had bought on closeout as it took a huge price hike when there are still the others I considered were as stated above from others' choices as well: Speakers from the Fritz brand, Atalante 3, Xavians, perhaps Fischer and Fischer.  Some of which can be had used/closeout, etc. for less money if one can find them.

There are more speaker options but those I mentioned would be my targets.  Fritz has a long history of success.  Atalante 3 may become a rare classic that performs if the Company fails to move on from the death of the owner/designer and I got a thing for wood cabinets when done right (Xavian).
