Default X7: ghs silk and bronze...so close but what next to make it sound warmer?

Hey. I have an emerald x7 v2 (14 fret version). Oh so comfy to play. I've been experimenting with strings and trying to get as warm a sound as possible without losing playability. I put some GHS Silk and Bronze on there (12s). Nice sound and great playability but still want some more warmth...prefer as warm as possible without going up to mediums. Any recommendations?

I prefer a bit of a scooped sound as to make sure my vocals get in there good, dont want mid heavy.

Should I go retros 11s, TI Plectrum 11s, Newtone Double Wound, Newtone Heritage or completely missing the mark and should try something else as to get me that more warmth? I'm not a fan of "new" string sound or zing as trying to hide the carbon fiber sound as much as possible as my only guitar at the moment.

I straight SUS but they were very mid heavy to my ears.

Just strum with my fingers so dont use picks.
