open/energetic but not harsh? what am i describing

hi guys, long story short, i loved the energy and openness of the b&w n805's but i couldnt stand the harshness of the metal tweeter after extended listening... so i need to replace them with something that is equally airy/open but a lot smoother

i've been demoing speakers but its been hard to find something similar.. i think the fact that the 805's have the tweeter out in the open like that, contributes a lot to their great imaging and open sound

i need some guidance as to what speakers i should look into... most of the speakers ive tried so far do sound smoother, but have that boxy/recessed sound and are not nearly as airy as the 805's

any advice is appreciated, thanks

Check out the Dynaudio lineup. Personally I have the C1's with a Rel B3 sub and couldn't be happier. I can listen for many hours only wanting to hear just 1 more song - one more cd. Oops now it 2 am and I have to go to work at 7am.

I've checked out many but not all other speaker brands and when I heard the C1's I stopped looking/listening. No regrets at all.

Koven I have only heard the 'D' series not the nautilus. I still prefer the Dyns especially in the mids and high end. Also the B&W's for me lacked some dynamics.
