The last thing B&W's are are warm, They are very bright with most models and years except for some of the early models before the kevlar cone midrange and metal dome tweeter but since somewhere around the late 80's early to mid 90's they have had the same detailed but in your face and ear bleeding brightness that have pushed me away from them and I used to manage a shop that was a B&W dealer. If you like a lot of detail and air to your sound with real good dynamics I would think about the Paradigms studio or signature series, not sure what your budget is but these speakers are very detailed(a little too much for me at times in the treble) and dynamic and can handle a lot of power but also can sound good with a moderate amount as well.
