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.

Throwing in my suggestion for Legacy Audio "Studio HD" stand mount speakers.
I haven't heard the more expensive Calibre, but the Studio's I have are amazing for the size.

I have a pair of Fritz carbon 7SE Mk2 bookshelf's  that I will never sell. In a smaller secondary set up, with a SVS SB 3000 sub, Meitner DAC  ATI 6000 2 channel AMP. Streaming Qobus     Strictly Rock and Roll, mid 80's to low 90's spl. You have to hear them shine.   Robert TN

I’ve had great success with Dynaudio special 40, PS Audio Fr5, and Buchardts. I have a Pass 250.

@ullogu1 the Joseph Audio Pulsar, maybe Joseph Audio in general, are musical speakers and one of the few that seem universally liked. Many find B&W too bright.
