B&W, Paradigm, Klipsch…too bright?

[cravnsn]

As posted in another thread, I recently bought a used pair of B&W DM302 speakers. Really nice, had all the hallmarks of a good speaker – fast transient response, imaging, soundstage…etal, but the level of detail came at the expense of a very bright top end. I had also listened to an older pair of Polk Audio Monitor 40 speakers, and found them to be very much the same – too bright.

Many moons ago, I had a set of Klipsch, which also had gobs of detail, but the horn loaded tweeters caused too much listening fatigue.
So, my question is…is this the trend across the current offerings from B&W, Polk, Klipsch, Paradigm…I see a lot of metal being used in tweeters, and I’m wondering if I can ever find a pair of speakers I can enjoy without being bombarded with too much high end brightness. I know some don’t see these speakers as being out of balance, but I would appreciate any input of models/brands to be looking at for consideration. I’m looking at a lot of things on ebay, and while I know there is no substitute for in person auditioning, at least I can maybe get a direction to go in while cyber shopping.

Thanks
