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?

I have the Focal 1028Be. I have the same issue with brightness. Clear, good bass, never huggable. Switched equipment and cables with some improvement but the main issue unresolved.
This seems to be a common thread with the electra 'BE' series.
I have also heard that the Kanta 2 or 3's are a big improvement, but is it worth the price?
Another responder mentioned a mod, is that for real?.
Call me at ropes end.
