The brightness you are talking about is probably because your system overemphasize the region 2 to 5 khz. Lots of us have the same problem with a great deal of available recordings. Try buy a Loki or invest in some digital processing to find out where your problem is. Fulle agree with eric above. Just bought an old pair of PMC OB1 speakers. 3-way with dome midrange to 3,5 khz. Very nice and detailed sund after some digital room treatment. Suddenly I can play the latest Van Morrison without hurting my ears too much from his (in this recording) extremely nasal voice (probably created in the mixing).

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
