You have received some very good advice about switching to soft dome tweeters ! I have been there and done that , I will probably never go back to metal .
If you are going to be in a nearfield situation try to find speakers that will give you the sound that you desire at low volumes . You should pay attention to the db. rating of the speaker and also the impedance curve .
If it sounds 'better' when you turn it up , it is probably not what you need for nearfield use !
You have not mentioned a price point , but if you are just starting out , I would keep it fairly inexspensive until you find what qualities you desire in the sound .
Given that , I would suggest some Soliloquy speakers .
I had the 6.2i's in a nearfield situation that worked nicely . They are a 2-way floorstander with silk dome tweeters . They may not be real resolving but do ok at low volumes . The company is out of buisness so they should be fairly cheap . I sold 2 pair for @ $700 with one speaker having small cabinet damage . They also made some standmount monitors as well . Really quite a lot of speaker for the money and a nice place to start .
Good luck .
