A well broken in pair of 1028's should never sound harsh. A good friend of mine has a nice 2 channel set up with a McIntosh pre (C2500) and MC452's powering the 1028be's. They are an amazing speaker new, and even better once broken in.
Next week I'm planning on spending a few hours with them before I decide on 1038's or 1028's. I'll let you know how they have broken in.
