Arcam A85 / EPOS ESL3's sounding too Bright


Hello fellow audioenthusiasts,

My system is sounding so bright that it hurts my ears to listen to it for any amount of time. Having said that, here is an outline of my system; I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction to make my system more mellow:

Arcam A85 integrated
Arcam CD73 Cd player
Monster speaker cables
AudioQuest CinemeQ RCA interconnects
Epos ESL-3 monitor speakers
Yamaha SW315 10" powered subwoofer

Thanks in advance!!!

I agree with Bundee1. The A85 might be too neutral in the upper mid and treble region. The most Epos speakers are voiced so that the upper mid is emphasized.

Together, I can understand your complaint.
