Looking for Speaker Recommendations

Audio Solutions Figaro M - wonderful speaker. I used a pair while I was waiting for my Wolf Von Langa SON. The figaro m were never fatigueing - very articulate and wonderful to look at. 

recent purchase ... Joseph Perspective 2, wonderful ... paired with CREEK Voyage i20 ... https://www.creekaudio.com/products/integrated-amplifiers/voyage-i20/ ... and https://www.stereophile.com/content/joseph-audio-perspective-loudspeaker-perspective2-graphene  ... difficult to think that any combo could sound much better

Used Wilson’s are pretty reasonable and sound amazing 

Stick to Wilson, buy something used from a dealer. Nothing compares to Wilson. Sonus Faber is very veiled, I can not enjoy them. It feels like you listen behind a curtain. There are many fans of Sonus Faber Amator, I never had a chance to listen. I love Alta Audio speaker, excellent sound, great clarity and sound stage. They are great for jazz music. I agree with you, focal and B&W are too bright, they cause ear fatigue after 30 min. Stay away from Magnepans and similar variety, to complicated to deal with them. Space, size and positioning is a big deal. Good luck. 

Just acquired a pair Focal Kant II’s

If placed properly in a treated room

my results are not bright

Now they are $11,000 new and you can pick up 

a preowned pair $6,000 or below 

They are superb and balanced and 

even coming from Monitor Audio bright 

these aren’t bright

Good luck WillyT
