KEF R11 vs B&W 702 vs Golden Ear Triton 1.R vs?

Actually Avantl the Triton 1r are very transparent Heil Amt tweaters are known and prized for exactly that.

We would argue that the non reference Tritrons were lese coherent the redesigned 1R are quite coherent.

The Triton 1r have been receiving incredibile reviews because of their overall performance is so high.

They have far deeper bass coupled to a much larger soundstage, greater sensitivity as well as having adjustabilty in the bass over the Spendors.

You should really listen to a pair the 1r were rated as the best affordable loudspeaker at Axpona.

Also the new Kef R do not sound metalic.

The Triton References at 9K do not have any of those attributes you are complaining about.

I just heard these side by side today, and was really surprised, the B&W just plain sounded better, the KEF sounded like it had a veil over it. Now to be fair the R11's were not placed ideally, the B&W were in a better spot, but I do not think that would account for the difference. And I want to add, I have not been a fan of B&W , and was considering the  KEF R7's, now I have some thinking to do:)

I really have tried to like b&w speakers, but for whatever reason they always sound colored. My experience with kef has been capable speakers that aren’t plug and play. The tweeter is a double edged sword since the wide dispersion can sound bright if to close to side walls. I’m a big Hegel fan. Your room acoustics could end up deciding for you what you buy. I’m currently using meridian in one room and a hegel driving Vienna acoustic beethovens in another so no dog in the fight when I suggest checking out Dynaudio also. 

I appreciate your recent responses to my OP. It has been awhile since I've listened to Dynaudio, but whenever I have they were warm and smooth ( a compliment).
