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.

It's been a while since I heard Joseph speakers. But over the years I have been super impressed that EVERY time I heard them(usually at shows where there are often room problems) I have always found them to sound smooth and yet detailed if you listen for it. I have NEVER been disappointed and that's totally absurd. That kind of consistency can only come from exceptional speakers.

Revels are great and a little less forward than most B&W’s.

ullogu, first thank you for giving your price range!

Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene, Alta Alyssa, Fyne Audio F1.8, Sonus Faber.....but my first choice would be the Joseph Audios. I've heard them many times, and they've been brilliant each time.

I just got the chance to hear a pair of Arendal 1528s, and was very impressed....but need to hear them a few more times and with gear closer to mine
