Can anyone recommend a speaker with a similar but mellower than the Paradigm
Reference Studio/100 v2?
I like the speakers full range and neutral character since I listen to a wide
range of music but find it a bit harsh at times.
Perhaps it is too neutral?
Budget is $5K to $8K.
Thanks!

a) look for a pair of vintage AR9s and have them rebuilt. Best conventional speakers I know of and I had a pair for years until we moved into a house where they could not fit. We eventually moved into a house with a much better opportunity for TOL speakers and so led me to Maggies.

b) Magnepan 3.7 - you will be awed!

I would never send you to speakers I have not heard or used - albeit in the case of the Maggies, an earlier TOL equivalent. Both of the above are power-pigs, however, and have significant footprints. But both are capable of creating such a detailed sound-stage as to show the proverbial 'sweet spot' for the joke that it is.
I strongly suggest you audition any speaker extensively at your preferred location prior to purchase unless you are dead-certain of what you will get.
