Who makes speakers with relaxed high freq.?


I have a bright room. I don't want absorbing panels hanging in my room ( neither does my wife ). Thought I'd look for a speaker that may have a relaxed high freq. response.
Many speakers seem to be overly agressive in the high midrange and treble region. Even reviewers point this out with many models.
I'm looking for a small floorstander around $2000 used...maybe even a monitor speaker that has good bass extension. Any suggestions that may work for me without giving up too much?
I know...go listen. But I Have no stereo shops close by and it always sounds different when I get it home.
thanks

Very tricky, you want small, good bass and smooth!
Sonus Fabers family would be ok, used of course, spendors are ok....these are very general answers of course....but get a pair of Ribbon based speakers and dont come much smoother than that, dont get duped as well sometimes.

I tried the some chinese ribbon design and they were bad...like really bad, bright and brittle. So design choice is vital, try a pair of used Apogees, you will die and come back alive. Its that smooth and detailed. Never hard on the ears ever not matter what the recordings are, even the original Queen stuff sounds good so.....

Good luck
