I'm comparing Discovery Essence (tried it?...smooth without loss of detail) with Siltech ST48b, which is indeed razor-like up top, but great on some recordings. Preliminary results are that the Essence is more forgiving, but that the Siltech can be edgy on massed vocals. But it almost puts brushes and cymbals too much in the room (forward in the mix) compared to the maybe better-balanced Essence.
Harm Tech Pro-Silway MkII had similar top end high-lighting, but an even more depressed midrange (like Nordost) than the Siltech. Both the Siltech and the Essence have GREAT bass and mids, as well.
That's all I can add right now.
Good luck.
