The pair of 1.7's I heard didn't sound bright, but they did sound somewhat "wispy": thin, un-fleshed out, no color or body to instruments.

I'm not aware of a general consensus that the 1.7 sounds bright. in fact, quite the opposite: soft. Davey, you found the ET LFT-8b to be bright too, choosing to use the lowest output tap on the tweeter. Perhaps you are more sensitive to very high frequencies (the LFT-8b tweeter high-pass filter is at 10kHz) than average?
