Tone controls only adjust the level of the treble - they can;t change the inherent sound of the signature of the tweeter - if it sounds etchy it always will be and no tone control can fix it.

You asked which speakers would be better - that depends on you. Frankly though your hesitation on buying should tell you something. If the speaker truly impressed you then you would not be here asking.

The old 600 series was good for the money but it's not for everyone.

Speakers from Gershman Acoustics, PMC, Audio Note, Dynaudio, Tannoy, Sonus Faber, ProAc off the top of my head I would take over comparable and more expensive B&Ws. One example would be The Audio Note AX Two at $700 and IMO it's a better speaker than the N805 at more than 3 times the price. But the N805 looks better.

Make sure you get an in home trial for a weekend - then you'll know if you can live with the B&Ws.
