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.

It occurs to me that I am looking for something that is less bright than the B&W's. In other words, I am not necessarily looking for a warm speaker but perhaps more neutral as that will shift the current presentation of my speakers

Thanks for your replies. 

 

Room is treated.

Room is skinny 11ft. Long side is more than 20'. Speakers point the long way.

I sit about 7ft from speaker and the speaker is 3ft from wall.

I have tried Alyssas. Sound great but bass overpowered the space.

Had Dynaudio Confidence C1- may be a bit dark but that was with a different amp

Many are recommending Pulsars. What kind of sound do they produce? Or better asked, what would the Pass + Pulsar produce?

What's the difference between the Carerra and the Rev 7?

I'm leaning towards Fritz, JA Pulsar, and Revival Atalante 3. The Dutch&Dutch seem like they are super good, but I'd have to sell the Pass and use my Aesthetix Pandora DAC as a preamp.

The PS Audio looks interesting but CA taxes add another 10% :-(
