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.

Sonus Faber for more natural musical

DynAudio for more detailed.

Totem for more punchy relaxed.

Yes Dynaudio are detailed...but smooth and listenable.  I also think they have impressive bass for their size..controlled not boomy.  :)

Revival Audio Atalante 3 monitors. 

Like you, I've been through speakers trying to find one that isn't bright, that sizzle or etch the sound, drawing attention to themselves and these fit the bill, for me. They're well under your cost limits but don't let the price fool you. 

All the best,
