speakers with a "smooth" impedance curve

This impedance rise is what I blame for so many of today's systems sounding overly forward and bright, as there is simply too much energy in the presence region. Especially, when driven by a tube amplifier, which is putting its power better into these higher impedances, and manifests itself in terms of the hard, glassy presentation that people tear their hair out trying to ameliorate with room treatments, cabling, and trying to put even more tube equipment (preamplifier, CD player, tube buffer, etc.)into their system.
