Not quite sure I understand all your points (especially going on 1 am), but the Titus is rather efficient (90dB/W/m? I don't know), the 'mid/woofer' runs with no crossover at all, and the tweeter has only a high pass filter on it (kicks in around 6kHz or so). Some reviewers ('Sam Tellig' at Stereophile) say the lack of a complex crossover makes it more low-powered (tube) amp friendly.

I don't know about that technically, but I use 8W SETs with no volume issues. Maybe using tubes is the answer for the OP (I've used SS as I said, with no problems though). Maybe the OP and others who find the speaker bright are just more sensitive to something than I am, no harm no foul, the speaker just isn't your cup of tea.

The impedance curve on these is actually really benign - the usual humps for the bass alignment, but it's basically 4 ohms minimum with a rise to about 10-12 ohms at ... I can't remember, somewhere in the treble, then back to 4 ohms thru 20kHz. I lost the graphs I had due to an HD problem, they're out there somewhere tho. Not many other measurements I've seen ... but everything I've see shows it to be not a strain on the amplifier.

I use mine about 7' out into the room, listening in the nearfield, about a 6' equilateral triangle and I think they sound great (with a sub coming in at ~50Hz). YMMV of course.
