Warm romantic & detailed


Good morning Gentlemen & ladies... 

I'm just starting to toy with idea of replacing my Focal 1038's... No matter how I treat my room, or what equipment I throw at it I just can't seem to tame the harsh highs on this speaker. 

I'd like to stay in the same price range of the Electra's (7/8k), I don't mind buying used, the musts for me at this point are: Warm, romantic, yet detailed... It would be beautiful to just sit and listen and not have ear fatigue after 15 minutes of listening. 

Can you please recommend something?

Quote OP    "Warm, romantic, yet detailed"

These are of course just words and mean different things to different people.  But I think the combination may be unattainable and suggest a tighter focus on the sound OP really wants.

Any decision is likely to be a wrong step unless a good number of speakers are auditioned in OP's room with OP's system and OP's chosen music - I agree with Duckworp on the latter.  Few speakers.excel on all kinds of music; and those few are six-digit expensive.

Tough to arrange, but the only way.
