looking for advice on bookshelf speakers

I am a audiophile who suffers frequent headaches. I still try and listen to music daily . I am only able to listen for an hour at a time. My current speakers are Paradigm Studio Reference 40 v2's . The treble is the hardest part for my listening sessions. Can people tell me of a good monitor that has mild treble . Maybe laid back is a good term for what i am looking for.I will be buying used with a budget of say $1,000 to $1500. If you know of any, that would be a great help. Also maybe a certain integrated amp would have a more pleasing sound ? Thank you !

Look for something with a silk dome sweeter. I use Tyler Acoustics speakers myself. Good luck.

Go with soft dome tweeters. Stay away from a metal dome.

I would go an NAD or Cambridge audio amp with perhaps Wharfedale speakers. I personally love Dynaudio speakers, and though they have silk dome tweets, they can be a little treble happy. However, if you pair Dyn's with Cambridge Audio integrateds or the NAD's you should do much better. But Dyn's can be pricey, and Wharfedales are kicking butt lately.
For cabling I'd recommend Audioquest Diamondback or Cardas 300B. Both are transparent yet easy on the ears as are the source components mentioned above. If you go Wharfedale 10.1 speakers for about $350 that just got RAVE reviews, you could perhaps get the other components/cables as well. Just some thoughts. Take care/good luck...Brian.
