You most certainly can. There's plenty of speakers that have a lot of detail like the B&W but sound completely different.
Also, things like sibilance and harshness, are not indicators that a speaker is transparent. Its just the opposite. The more transparent a system is, the closer to the actual event it gets you. Harsh highs move you in the opposite direction because in most situations, these qualities are not natural.
