BookShelf stand-mounter speakers with sweet soft tweeter sound.
Looking for bookshelf stand-mounter speakers that have a tweeter that is not so bright. With age, I have acquired, (amongst many other things), sensitive hearing. Bright sound bothers me to no end. Yet, I am also looking for these bookshelves to look like part of fine furniture! Rich wood finish is nice. Can live with all white. Have a pair of REL T9i subwoofers in Ferrari red to supplement bass, if needed. Something like Sonus Faber Amator iii looks good. But I have not heard them. I am sure there are many more too. But most of all – sweet soft tweeter sound!
Have tried different electronics/Tubes/Inter-connects/speaker cables and now have come down to speakers. Due to room size, prefer book shelves, but can also settle for floor-standers no higher than 40 inches tall.

You’re on the right track with SF. I have the Minima Amators and the treble is very smooth. I imagine the Elector Amator are even better.

If there is still a Reynaud dealer in the GTA you might want to listen to the Bliss Jubilee as it will meet your requirements for the tweeter and with it's transmission line bass will get you down to about 40hz.

Proac Tablette (Signature) or Dynaudio Special Forty. As bookshelf speakers go, for the money, very impressive.

Haven't heard the Proacs, agree with the Special Forty.
