enlightened..... 
Stooges: Complete Funhouse Sessions....
it is out of print, and sells for over $500 in collectors circles. i missed getting it when it was available for around 3.....it is awsome.

Why are these speakers so bright but others not?

Most forgiving speakers?
castle,gradient,vanderstein,spendor,harbeth,ohm 
LS3/5A & Pass Labs
all the ls 3/5's have the same refined musical quality. i would think the sterlings would be no exception. it is still relitively easy to find harbeth,rogers and spendor. kef's are maybe a bit more rare.
