I have been having issues with reeds since my freshman year in college, so I know how you feel. It will come and go, because your taste in what is a good reed will change. I, like you, have not been overly happy with the regular Vandoren and their V12 reeds. They seem rather harsh and my tone is rather sharp. However, I have been using the Vandoren 56 Rue Lepics and am rather satisfied with them. But I've been experimenting with regular Gonzales and ther FOF (for our friends). I've found that they give me a larger and brighter sound (without being too edgy). Every player is different, so what works for me may not work for you.
I would suggest trying out a box or two of different brands. I know that may be rather expensive, but it will help you with your decision in the long run. Experimenting is really the only way you'll be able to figure out what you like best.
Hope that helps. Best of luck to ya! =)
