I picked up a pair of 2405Hs ($300) and a pair of 3106 crossovers ($200) recently and after adding bypass caps to the HF section, they sound great. Neither harsh, not too bright and I run them with no attenuation. Mind you, I am using excellent quality tube amplification...with lower quality transistor gear I would anticipate harshness/brightness as these drivers are extremely revealing of your source and amplification.
