Another vote for Monel retros. I have them on my Emerald X7 and Rainsong Parlor. When the settle in ( about 2-3 days), they give a balanced mellow tone on the higher strings. They still provide a balanced definition to the lower strings without sounding dead. I discovered these on my Martin 00-15S as I could not find strings that could give a blend without being muddy. Tried them on my a couple of my carbons as an experiment. Great sustain with out brightness. Just my humble opinion. Not for every guitar - but worth a shot.
