It is hard for me to understand why you would consider a piece of equipment that is said to be bright, and then use another piece of equipment to mask the flaw.
You should always trust your ears.

Choosing between B&W CM5 and Jamo concert 8's
I'm currently using fairly large full range speakers (Martin Logan Oddysseys) and want to make the change to bookshelf/stand speakers. In other posts I have mentioned that my absolute first choice would be the Canalis Anima but they're a little outside of my spending comfort zone.
I recently auditioned a pair of B&W CM5's and was impressed with them and am seriously considering them for purchase. On the other hand, I read some very nice reviews on the Jamo Concert 8's which can be had on the used market for about half the price of the B&w's. my choice, then, is down to these two speakers so am asking for advice.
One review commented that the Jamo was a little bright in the higher frequencies which is a concern but I do have a tube DAC behind the CD player that I use to tame some of that unpleasant "shrillness". Price is not my primary concern but is a factor so I'm hoping that someone here has had some experience with these speakers and can give me some advice. BTW, my CD player is a solid state Shanling and the amp is an integrated Rogue Audio Sphinx hybrid.
