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 Maggie 3.7i's.  They come shipped with a resistor to tame the high's.  There are many that feel they have a glare or grain and I will agree that they can sound fatiguing, and were initially ( I had 1.7i's and the 3.7i's are definitely smoother).
I have gradually upgraded my electronics to the point the Maggies are now warm romantic and detailed.  Most recently upgraded to an Allnic L-7000 from an L-3000.  While the 3000 was spectacular the 7000 washed away the last bit of grain.  
Sold the L-3000 to an owner of an L1500.  I told him one difference going from the L3000 to the L-7000 was that you don't notice the high frequency's, if you listen they are there but they don't call for attention.  The buyer said he noticed the same thing going from the L-1500 to the L-3000.
Don't forget to evaluate the electronics, they can be a part of the problem or the solution.
