I am not a fan of the upper range drivers on those Infinities.
I think my ears agree with you on those, the Apogees, and the Acoustats.
The Acoustats start with some dynamic compression that can be distracting, but they make a great performance/dollar speaker these days.

If you unload them of deep bass duties the Acoustats won't have an issue with dynamic compression. Or use some of the bigger ones :-).
I have been experimenting with three pair of 2+2's that accidentally found their way into my life.
One pair is run free of deep bass and the other two are soleley woffer panels. It makes for good system integration with the same drivers sharing the frequency loads.
Kind of imposes on the room, however.
You are even sicker than I am. I had the Spectra 2200s, 4400s and 1+1s in the same room (the 1+1 were in the corners doing nothing by this time). I recommend you try some Spectras, they have lower coloration and greater transparency. They also seem to have a higher dynamic range (my 1+1s were always slapping the wires with heavy bass but not the 2200s, which have the same number of panels per channel as 1+1s) and better low level resolution. Not to mention the main reason for their existence, the absence of serious beaming. The spectra technology really made a wide flat panel give a good dispersion at high frequencies. No venitian blind effect.
I am quite happy now with my Genesis speakers. They are very transparent and low in coloration, have amazing bass and are dipole so the soundstage is big.
That seems to be how I have migrated for the speakers I keep around.
