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

Single driver beams above ~3,000hz and eliminates most HF room interactions.
Consider Bob Brines FT-200 or Carolinaaudio Jordans.

I second the Tyler Linbrook Monitors. Those SEAS Millenium tweeters are fantastic.

You could save quite a bit of money by adding some Cardas interconnects, which typically provide a warmer presentation. There are other cables also, but the Cardas are the ones that come to mind.

two options:

1.- Look for soft dome tweeter designs, Totem for example.
2.- Try smooth cables (IC and spkr) pure copper, avoid silver or silver/gold, Harmonix could be an option.

Hope this helps

Seems like Newbee and I have similar tastes... Tyler and Spendor were the first two that came to mind in that order. I own and recommend the Tylers, but I also loved the Spendor line when I heard them recently.
