Hello Friends
Hope some can help?
my system is 
1. Well Tempered Classic, with Marigo cup upgrades, this is fed, to PS Audio, Gcph phono stage!!, I have it as comes with volume control, fed to my MonoBlocks, I have a PS Audio, pre/dac, pre amp, that I can connect, to play CD/s, which I have not done, in the last 5 years, or connect phono stage, to the preamp!!
I love the "Bass"", no need for a subwoofer!!
But why is the treble, is over harsh!!
I think, it may be  the pre amp??
Or is it my speakers, which are Zu Audio Souls M2, to much wizz??
I was thinking, may be to buy, a full tube "icon audio" PS2 phono stage, with volume dial, to send to my mono blocks??, but it seems to me when you go to valves, it does not go down with with deep bass , and slam??
Reason for the above, I live 3 hours drive, from a decent, audio shop!!
So I'm all alone, to make a choice??
Please Friends
Can you give me, your thoughts
Regards
David Aust

All the Zu Audio speakers have a rising treble above 10khz. Some call this "detail"!!! Same problem with B&W speakers.


Zu Audio speakers are not the same, supertweeter is different, depends on the model, high pass network can be upgraded with different caps.

I have no problem with my Zu Audio Druid, my supertweeter is Radian 850 and there is my previous supertweeter on the same image. The hights are silky and very enjoyable. 

Zu Soul mkII is way different from Druid
There is a huge difference in price between those two models, also huge difference in performance, so ZU speakers are different.
