I tried the same B&Ws with the matching stands. Beautiful and well made but too bright for me too. After trying several different brands I went with Revel M126Be with beryllium tweeters. Smooth top end. Not harsh at all. Good mid bass and kick drums have a great snap. Best standmounts I’ve heard. Retail for $4400 a pair but often on sale or you can buy used. I have a pair in gloss black and a pair in walnut. Highly recommend.
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.
