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.

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. 

Fritz.  I have Rev 7s that I love.  The Carrera is outstanding as well.  I would say they are neutral to warm but have very good detail.
