So I'm bought the 5040s based on many good reviews out there. As a note these are the most expensive speakers I've ever owned and only the 3rd set of speakers ive ever owned. I'm a novice. But they aren't my cup of tea. I found them very fatiguing and "in your face." When I toe them out to the point they are more enjoyable for me I lose most of the center image. My biggest complaint is vocals though. The seem thin and lifeless. I love the tone or timber not sure the correct wording but other than thin or lite im not sure out to describe the vocals. I'm not not saying they are a bad speakers. They excel at detail and clarity and the left to right imaging is good too. But I need something more laid back that I can listen to for hours without having to walk away. I need something with more heft/weight/life/realism in the vocal performers.
What would you all recommend in the 1.5-2k usd range? Floorstanders perfered but not necessary. I'd don't want to sacrifice too much of that detail but I want something where the upper end is a little more recessed and something that adds weight to vocal performers.
Suggestions?
