KEF R11 / JBL HDI3800 /DALI RUBICON 8/ B&W CM10 S2 / REVEL F208


I am looking to upgrade my system and considering these speakers:

KEF R11 / JBL HDI3800 / DALI RUBICON 8 / B&W CM10 S2 / REVEL F208

I will be pairing them with REL S510 subs, probably going dual on them. I know some are new speakers on my shortlist but I would appreciate your input in terms of how bright they can be. I would rather go for neutral-sounding speakers without any harsh/fatiguing listening experience.

I just listen to music.No HT setup whatsoever.
.
Thank you guys

I really like Dali's hybrid tweeter module.  They can sound "bright" on content that is hot in the treble and upper mid range, but on well recorded music, they are very nice sounding.  I heard the Rubicon 6 last year at a dealer, and it was impressive. 

B&W speakers never seem to measure very well, but they have a "house sound" that a lot of people love.

The Revel F208 measures well and has been a top recommendation for a long time now.  This one may avoid the brightness you mentioned that you don't want.

The JBL HDI 3800 may be the most dynamic of your choices.  It's all down to personal choice, so you really need to listen to them yourself.
