soft dome speakers


i'm in the market for some bookshelf speakers that cost under $1200pr new. after hearing some different brands i noticed that my ears seem to prefer soft dome tweeters vs. metal and horns. i liked a set of ushers that were out of my price range and the totem mites. what other companies have bookshelves with soft tweeters??? any recommendations

I have a pair of QUAD 22L2 (not bookshelf though) and love them considering a cost of $950 shipped. Not harse, yet detailed, and good bottom end for a speaker on this size. I do have Velodyne sub set at the lowest cut over possible but find myself turning off at times since the QUADs perform so well. I'm sure there are other brands just as good or better but I can only speak to the QUADs. The only issue I've experience is that the spike threads are not in tolerance to the spike inserts held in the base. Too tight. Good hunting.
