This is a pretty late response but speakers I have owned in this genre:
ADS L500, L7e, L700 (L710 early version), L880, L1590 and a pair of Canton Karat 300's.
I prefer the Karats to all of the ADS bookshelf speakers and performed A/B comparisons. Granted this is to MY ears, the opinions of others may differ and are valid.
1. Canton is more efficient.
2. Canton has more 'air' and sparkle without being harsh.
3. Despite being brighter the tweeter has less glare/grit than a hair, it's extremely smooth.
That's one guy's take on it.
