speakers for listener with Tinnitus

"What speakers would you recommend that soften the highs etc., that might lessen the symptoms of Tinnitus?"

Try listening to your system with a little background noise from a fan or something similar. A completely silent room feels very unnatural (at least for me it does.)

Syntax, I own Magico S5's but wouldn't say they fit Kitegod's sound description. I would 2nd earlier suggestions for Harbeth (especially with Leben) and Chario. I'd also recommend Living Voice and Daedalus (especially with Modwright) all of which should be enjoyable to listen to. Upstream I would go for tubes or tube-like amps.

"Now although the 1.6s have more treble energy than the Kestrels, the treble is so clean it doesn't seem to irritate my tinnitus."

What do you mean by that? Can you give an example of what happens when you irritate your tinnitus? For me, a little background noise helps. It "covers it up" enough to where I'm not too distracted to it.

When I listen to high frequency audio with noise or distortion it aggravates my tinnitus. A couple examples include, talking on a cell phone or watching tv with the volume too loud. I now only use my cell phone on speaker so I don't have it pressed to my ear. Not sure why, but the cell phone really bothers my ears.
The thing about the Thiel's metal tweeter is it is very clean, no distortion. My ear seems to be extremely sensitive too this noise.
