Just as a question... I’m sure you tried different angles, tilts and room positions for the zu to see if you could eliminate the harshness???


OK,  you have mentioned bass several times so it would seem that the zu must seem bass shy?  My experience has been that sometimes, when highs and lows are not proportionate, things can seem overly bright on some recordings. 


The BP 9060s with their built in subs probably give you the best chance to get the bass where you want it.... which may well reduce some of the perceived harshness. 


I’m  pretty sure the gallos sound good... and better with added subs... but how do you ever get them fixed if there is a problem??

Personally, I'd recommend the Triton 3+ over the DT's or the Triton 5's here and this is why: I know the 3+'s are 500 USD/pair more than the 5's, but I highly suspect the 3+'s will perform better at the frequency extremes than the others you're considering (deep, clean, powerful bass...check!)...in that sense, you may be getting the whole enchilada presentation-wise. And they image great. Plus they have a gain adjustment you can make to tailor them to your room and taste with the built-in subs...something you don't get with the 5's. That would open the way for you to sell your ss amps and get yourself a nice-sounding, used, low-powered tube amp for the mids and highs (say goodbye, I think, to the harshness)...or a nice, simple receiver, if that's how you roll. Either would prove to be an excellent match for the 3+'s and the 3+ would then give you everything you've been asking for here, I'd say.
