Need help choosing new speakers

Harbeth Compact 7 ES. Under $2000.00 new/with metal stands on Audiogon.

Assume you want a more romantic, less analytic sound. A couple of thoughts:
1. You may want to try a simple tweak. I have cheaper B&W's and thought they can be too forward at times. One thing I have done is to add an AH! LS Noise Killer filter to my system. THis is a $50 filter you connect to the tweeter terminals. It slightly rolls the highs and warms up the sound. Did not diminish the resolution of the speaker in my case and made a nice improvement for me. Only negative is that I do not think they are returnable if they don't work.
2. If you want a different sound, try auditioning Spendors. Since you have a subwoofer, the S3/5 might even work in your room.
3. You may also want to consider Proac speakers. Not as warm as the Spendors, but nice speakers with the right gear.
4. Make sure your cables are good matches for your system and are not adding any brightness. If you're using any silver or even Kimber cables, you may want to try something warmer like MIT or Harmonic Tech.
5. Tubes may also work. I use tubes with my B&W's and solid state with my Spendor S3/5's.

Nice system. Have you thought about adding a second subwoofer? I have a pair of B&W CDM 1NT's I run with two Snell subwoofers. I mainly listen to rock music and I think the setup sounds great. You might want to play with the crossover setting and output level with your current sub to give yourself a little more impact in the bass. I never really enjoyed my setup with rock music until I had the whole bass thing under control.
