Disappointed in the tweeters...

After many years away, I started chasing sound again. I've been through many sets of speakers in my years listening to music. I'm a budget guy....btw. My last system that I had for quite a few years was a HK tuner/integrated amp combo (late 80s) and some Epos ELS-3 speakers. I saw some Energy CB-5 speakers for cheap and bought them. Much better than Epos surprisingly. Then I found some B&W DM 600 S3 for a reasonable price. A little better than the Energy's. Latest purchase was a set of the PSB Imagine XBs. Discounted price/free returns. I am surprised for the price at the shortcomings of this speaker. The high end lacks definition and feels like I am missing information as recorded. What got me hooked to chasing sound (on a budget) was walking into the old arcade in Cleveland and hearing this music coming from inside. It sounded like a concert. I was taken aback when I walked into the place and volume inside was the same as it was out in the arcade. They were ADS speakers. (Late 80s/early 90s). Probably less than $1000 speakers. I was trying to sell the BWs because I thought the PSB would blow them away....not so much. Any recommendations in the under $500 range or am I asking too much? Thanks
