Back in the late 90's when I first heard the Concertinos at a Tweeter store, they were driven by a Marantz receiver (no idea on the model). Listened to a variety of material and I heard plenty of "sparkle" in the treble. Flash forward ten years and I finally purchase a used pair. I paired them with a VTL tube amp. Unfortunately, I heard much of what your friend describes. So basically I'm thinking that Concertinos are picky about amplification.
Can "Dark"Sounding Speakers Be "Brightened"UP???
One of my buds has a pair of the original Sonus Faber Concertino speakers(bi-wireable)partnered with a Peachtree Audio Decco,driven by a HP Laptop & cabled with all Audioquest copper cables(usb,power & speaker).While listening to my new Toy Monitors & Peachtree Audio MusicBox driven by an Asus Laptop recently he commented that he was able to hear treble frequencies(especially cymbals)on my system much better than on his & wondered if anything short of changing speakers could be done.
I have read that Silver Plated Copper cables tend to sound a touch brighter than all copper & was wondering if you folks think switching to all Silver Plated Copper(i'm thinking Nordost or DH Labs)cables might bring the treble up a bit in his system?
Thanks for your input,take care...
