Kosst_amojanNot all AMT drivers are bright and forward. It depends on speaker designer/builder's taste. Very few speaker builders know how to make speaker's sound forward or laid back (warm or bright, grain or smooth, dark or pleasant). Many doesn't know how.
I liked the Golden Ears I heard, but I think they err on the side of bright and forward which is rather typical of all AMT-type drivers.
Floorstanding towers
I'm currently in the market for some new towers and have a few I'm looking at but am open to suggestions. I have my ways on the monitor audio bronze or silver series and the Martin Logan motion 40. I have also heard and like paradigm monitor series speakers. They will be paired with a parasound halo integrated and vinyl as well as streamed music will be the main source of sound. im open to ideas on other speakers in the 2-3k range for the pair.
