shoe, I have the same problem in my living room setup - bright room (room treatments out of the question!) and Adcom 555II amp which I tend to agree with the general consensus is on the bright side. I chose to look for new speakers and my two favorites for combined sound and looks were Vienna acoustics Bach Grand and Quad 22L. Dali Ikon 6 was a close third. I bought a pair of VA Bach Grands and am very happy with them. To my ears, soft dome tweeters are the way to go - more natural sounding and non-fatiguing in general.
Who makes speakers with relaxed high freq.?
I have a bright room. I don't want absorbing panels hanging in my room ( neither does my wife ). Thought I'd look for a speaker that may have a relaxed high freq. response.
Many speakers seem to be overly agressive in the high midrange and treble region. Even reviewers point this out with many models.
I'm looking for a small floorstander around $2000 used...maybe even a monitor speaker that has good bass extension. Any suggestions that may work for me without giving up too much?
I know...go listen. But I Have no stereo shops close by and it always sounds different when I get it home.
thanks
