I went through something similar when I got a new mouthpiece and decided to try softer reeds (only by 1/2 strength) because they were recommended with that opening. I loved the response but hated the tone, particularly on anything higher than C6. Reading this board I kept hearing great things about Aria reeds from Brad Behn, so I ordered them and, for me at least, they were a revelation. They have the easier response of softer reeds but the core of the harder reeds. They also run soft, and you can try a box of two different strengths.
I don't know how much softer you have gone, or what brand you currently use, but I would suggest trying some other brands, in a 1/4 or 1/2 strength softer to see what works best.
