Advise for new speakers for my basement exercise room

new member. I would  appreciate your expert advise for new speakers for my basement exercise room 15x25. Hard floor and walls with  4 windows and 9' ceiling. I am using near mint JBL 112s but hi frequency sounds are not realistic. Lows are great.  System is Nak CA7 pre, PA7 Nelson Pass 200w amp, and Sony ES707ESD CD player, AQ and Morrow cables.  Like upbeat music for exercise. Don't have time and do not want to go and audition and comfort level is about 5k or less.  My Mission 770s sound better than the JBLs there, but are needed elsewhere.
Thank you everyone for your advise and time.

Try this.....

 cut an old tshirt in 1-2” squares, tape 1 layer over the tweeter, and give a listen, if not to your liking, put a 2nd layer over the tweeter/horn.  And come back with ur thoughts!

 A very easy fix for bright speakers in a basement with no caret, or high absorbing furniture. 
   Before you make a huge move, give a try, 
did this on my BIC dv-84 towers, treble was very over powering with hardwood floors, and minimal furniture to soak up the treble.

  Please try this,  cut small squares, tape over tweeter, and listen, then try a 2nd layer, or maybe. 3rd,....... 
I did it, and it was a fix of a lifetime! Worked wonders!
